I don't know what type of black magic you are working xD.  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.

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 xD

Sure, I just uploaded a version of CriticalZone which uses for all views the default fanart images instead of the animated video as background. :)

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.

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.

Really? How exactly? isn't it just the exact same composition in reverse

CriticalZone 1.7 released!

Your current version will automatically get updated if you update your LaunchBox installation to the newest beta version v7.6 Beta-3.

CZ 1.7 features 2 completely new games Views and a lot of performance improvements! If the theme or certain Views of it were lagging for you in the past give it another try and see if the theme now performance smoother for you :)


CriticalZone Changelog:

v1.7 - LB v7.6 (01/26/2017)
- Added: Two new “Horizontal Wheel” views for games were added.
- Fixed: Various performance improvements.
	- Removed the DropShadow effects for all details and description texts
	- Replaced almost all "SelectedGame" properties with the newly added "ActiveGame" properties
	- Changed the RenderBias of all elements from "Quality" to "Performance"
	- Optimized the "VisibleCount" value of the CoverFlow element in all Wheel Views
- Updated: The margin between all metadata logos (ESRB, Favorite, etc.) is now unified across all Views.
- Updated: The glass bar in the “Vertical Wheel Games View 2” was made slightly bigger; it now takes roughly a third of the whole screen width.

 

The 2 new Views:

Go to your Big Box Options-> Views -> Change the "Games List View". 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 :)

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)
