They are named the same as my consoles i dumped them into the folder that has the read me file that says put backgrounds in here im at a loss nothing shows up only a black background i have followed every instruction to the letter am i missing something do i have to move the folder or something? if anyone has any idea at all your help would be greatly appreciated because its the coolest theme there is IMO huge thanks to @CriticalCid for making it its awesome The platforms do not have backgrounds, they are fullscreen videos, its the game views that have backgrounds and they should mostly work without you having to do anything, unless you have named your platforms something different than the default names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i made a mistake calling them platform backgrounds i should have said game view backgrounds like when your cycling through your Super Nintendo games and there is a custom background with a super Nintendo logo in the background... well i cant get any of them to show up and they are named the same as my platforms in lunchbox i must have something wrong somewhere thanks for your help though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriticalCid Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 You say you dumped them somewhere? Have you created custom ones because you're not supposed to move anything around in the theme if you’re not exactly sure what you’re doing. Everything should work right out of the box and moving stuff around will just break it. The folder with the ReadMe file inside it is also defintiely the wrong folder. Please go back to the download description and follow the “How to Install”, “Tips” and “Individual platform artwork not showing up?” sections very closely. And if you have indeed moved things around it’s probably the best if you just delete the whole theme and re-download it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your platform called Nintendo Gamecube in Launchbox? as it has to match. But yeah if you have moved things around that shouldn't of been then do as @CriticalCid said and start from scratch and see if it works when you don't move things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoran Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 @CriticalCid I'm using the current beta 9, and downloaded and installed the theme in the right folder. I can even see that wheel art and backgrounds, so I know it's there. The problem I'm having is that the Wheel Art is not showing up when I select the Unified theme from BogBox. In fact, the changes are minimal and I'm trying to track down what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 I have the feeling that you still have the TextList View selected. Is that the case? Because when you look at the featured Views list you'll see that this one isn’t themed at the moment. You’ll have to switch the View to one of the Vertical Wheel Views. Check the tips section in the download description, it's explained there how to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukenukem008 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Ok guys so i re downloaded the theme i left everything as is. however all the game views have the default Bigbox background i checked and double checked all my platform names match the media file names for example my Nintendo 64 is named exactly Nintendo 64 in lunchbox and the background image file in the ..\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\ folder is also named Nintendo 64.png so why am i only seeing the default Bigbox background? that is why i started moving things around in the first place.

CriticalCid Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Make sure that in the Big Box Options -> Views –> “Show Games List Title” is enabled and that you are using at least LaunchBox version 8.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senna0202 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Where can one get game specific videos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukenukem008 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Emumovies is hands down the best option and its integrated with launchbox you gota pay like 20 bucks or something but its worth it to get all your videos for all systems it lasts a year too so plenty of time and they download automatically through launchbox is you have a paid account.

Only the default ClearLogo wheel without the spinner. Its almost like the theme isn’t taking effect. Another oobservatio. Is when I used Launchbox to download the new unified platform videos, it put them in the Launchbox Videos folder and not in the theme folder. This is driving me mad...

I deleted the directory, and downloaded the complete theme again, and unzipped it into Themes. All is well now. Amazing work! My cabinet even "looks" fun! Thank you for an amazing theme! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
