ALIE Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I don't know what type of black magic you are working . but on my aging slow machine that has been driving me mad lately with how slow its gotten. Your theme is now performing better then many lighter themes. I can finally use this amazing theme and city Hunter by the sound of it. Amazing Amazing Amazing thanks Cid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 W00t? Great to hear that @ALIE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoney Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 @CriticalCidGreat job on the two new views! One thing I noticed on the new views is you cannot change box view types with a keyboard press if you have a key mapped in BB options to change box view types. Like for instance if I wanted to change from 3D Boxes to Box Front or vice versa. Is this by design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yes, this is by design. The views are using a modifed version of a Wheel instead of CoverFlow, so I had to make some compromises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machello Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi Cid, I just updated to the latest beta and your theme is finally performing much much better :-) !! It's not perfect yet, I could do some tweaking myself and I am sure the theme and LB/BB will be better and better! Really love the 2nd horizontal wheel. Keep up the good work, you are a real artist my friend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdavid555 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Anyway to use Fanart backgrounds instead of the background video for the Horizontal platform view? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sure, I just uploaded a version of CriticalZone which uses for all views the default fanart images instead of the animated video as background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much Cid. You are too kind! It looks awesome and is running great so far. The video backgrounds still cause lag on my G3258 processor, but this is a good alternative for me and I'm sure many other users. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyverjay Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Is it possible to have a variation of the boxgamesview where the boxes are on the bottom ane the info video is on the top? I'm digging the new views but the box size is too small for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 It would be possible but it wouldn’t look any good. If I would make the boxes bigger then there would be less room for the video/info and that would lead to a huge amount of ugly blank space between those elements. The alternative for that would be to split the info in 2 columns and that is already covered in the CoverFlowWithDetails View. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly? isn't it just the exact same composition in reverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Oh, forgive me. I just read your post again and I understood you wrong. I thought you were talking about the new views and that you would want bigger boxes for them... Yes, that’s possible. Here you go: CriticalZone 1.7 - Boxes on the bottom.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Wow hats off @CriticalCid the work you and the other themester (yes that's a made up word) put into theme building is mental, I've been trying it myself lately and can now understand the commitment you all put in, thank you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two new views are called “Horizontal Wheel 2” and “Horizontal Wheel 3”. Regarding the platform videos. @BakerMan made a short video on how to download them. I hope that helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdavid555 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hi Cid. I just noticed that the "Game completed" icon is larger when compared to the favorites and rating image. I am currently using the Fanart background version of your theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks for reporting that. I don’t know how that could slip through but I will get that fixed shortly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 CriticalZone 1.7.1 released! It’s just a small bug fix release and resolves the size issue with the “Completed” and “Broken” banner images in the “Horizontal Games Wheel 3” View which was reported by @imdavid555. Also a small change that I did in 1.7 caused that the marquee wasn’t working anymore. That was reversed and the marquee should be working again. As usual is the new CZ version bundled with the latest LB Beta version and will be automatically updated if you install the latest LB Beta. If you are using the version without the background video you have to download it here from the download section and update it manually. CriticalZone Changelog: v1.7.1 - LB v7.7 (02/08/2017) - Fixed: The "Completed" and "Broken" logos in the "Horizontal Wheel Games View 3" weren't sized correctly. - Fixed: The marquee wasn't working properly (introduced in version 1.7) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
