Unified Refried 2.0

What's different in 2.0?

*This replaces the old version of Refried entirely. DO NOT merge this new version with the old one.

*All platform addon themes from the first version of Refried have been merged into one single addon called "Queso Fresco" (because it tastes great on top of refried beans...that's why). Therefore all of those older addon themes are no longer needed.

*Requires Launchbox 9.4 or above to function properly

*Revised Install instructions (please read them below if you are just starting out with the theme)

*Added custom controller icons for play modes in the game description on some systems...this will get finished in the future

*More great additions made by Ghostlines to the theme

*Added the fullscreen video view to all platforms (view 4)

*Improved the artwork slightly for the Big Box options menus

Important note**If you install this theme,and the artwork does not display properly for a platform on your system,then more than likely it is a naming conflict between your platform and the files in the theme. To fix this issue,you must locate these files and change the name to your actual platforms name:

1.Images/Theme/Background/(name of your platform that is mislabeled)

2.Images/Theme/VideoBorder/(name of your platform that is mislabeled)

If you install the Queso Fresco addon as well,then you must also rename the custom view xaml files to your platform name.

I set out to make an alternate version to the beautiful Unified theme,with modifications here and there,yet,as I worked on it more and more,I started to go a different direction slightly...and thus Refried was born. This theme is built to focus on artwork,and showcase each system in bright colorful high definition artwork. I have drawn all new original arcade cabinets,and designed custom borders for each platform,which set each system apart from each other,while maintaining a unified appearance across the board.

The main difference between this,and many other themes that are out there...are the video borders. When using the Default theme,all video borders are the same size across the entire theme...but,when using the addons,the video borders will then fit the system properly...so that the video for Game Boy Advance,will fit the GBA Video Border...and the PSP video,will fit the PSP Video Border. In other words,by using the custom view addons,it allows the theme to represent the system perfectly...rather than the same size border for everything.

This theme is more than capable of running without a single addon theme installed,and only using the Default...the addons are merely to extend the experience of each system,with special added artwork,and tweaks.On the other hand,the Addons rely on the Default themes structure,and will not work without the default theme installed.

 

There are multiple views included with the default theme,including -

1.Border with No Box/Cart/Disc Art

2.Border with Box/Cart/Disc Art

3.Border with Box/Spinning Cart/Disc Art

4.Full Screen Video w/Centered enlarged wheel

5.Border Text List View with Box/Cart/Disc Art

The Queso Fresco addon has 5 views -

1.Special Artwork/Special Border with No Box/Cart/Disc Art

2.Special Border with Box/Cart/Disc Art  (With wheel fade)

3.Special Border with Box/Cart/Disc Art  (No wheel fade)

4.Full Screen Video w/Centered enlarged wheel

 5.Special Border Text List View with Box/Cart/Disc Art

**If the system has CD's/Discs,then the Disc will spin in Views 2 and 3...but,if the system has carts or floppies,then they will not spin in views 2 and 3.

The Arcade portion of the Queso Fresco addon has 5 views -

1.Dynamic Marquees with Character Artwork

2.No Dynamic Marquees with Character Artwork

3.Dynamic Marquees with Advert/Flyers

4.Full Screen Video w/Centered enlarged wheel

5.Text List View with Advert/Flyers/Cabinets

With the Queso Fresco addon installed,the arcade platforms are capable of displaying Video Marquees for each game,as well as regular marquees, in the marquee area of the cabinets (Some samples are included,and more are on the way)*

Any Video Marquees must be placed in "LaunchBox/Themes/Unified Refried/Images/Theme/Addons/_Arcade/Video Marquees/" and must be in mp4 format

In order to make this work properly,you must go into LaunchBox options,and change the priority for Cart Back Image to Arcade - Marquee,and uncheck anything else.

Installation:

1.Download the Default theme (Unified Refried) ,and place it in your "Launchbox/Themes" folder

2.If you have not done so,you will need to unblock the Plugins...This does not have to be done for every addon theme,as unblocking them once,in the default,is all that is necessary...excerpt taken from unified description -

Quote

Go to the “Plugins” folder inside of the extracted folder and right-click on of the .dll files. Choose Properties -> Click on “Unblock” at the bottom of the window. Close the window. Repeat that for all .dll files in that folder. If the "Unblock" button isn't there than you are already good to go.


3.Set the theme to "Unified Refried" in Options/Views/Theme

4.If installing any of the addons,simply unzip the addon,and open the folder that was created. In this case we will use the Queso Fresco addon as an example.

5.Place the two folders (Images and Views) into the Unified Refried default theme folder,merging the folders when prompted.

6.That's it! ....When you load up Big Box,the artwork should be changed to the Queso Fresco alternate art.

Pictures of Installation process for those that need them...If this is your first time using Refried you can skip step 1

Just wondered what sound pack you are using RH?

Also, it might be seen in this test video I've made (ignore missing metadata) but it seems like I get video tearing on the theme videos when on that particular platform select wheel, if i change to the view that they are fullscreen it goes away, Maybe framerate issue on my screen? its a weird one

@RetroHumanoid Small bug I noticed in today's update.  The WiiU addon no longer has spinning disk animation.  Not sure if this was intentional, or just missed.  Anyway, thought I'd mention it in case it was not intentional.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention...it's not intentional. I have a couple other things to go over with the default theme,as apparently it's not playing well with the changes in arcade playlists...after i sort it out I will update with the wii-u theme fixed,as well as any other bug reports.

You can see what i mean at 37 seconds, this doesnt happen when using the fullscreen view

Hopefully I'm not annoying you haha

Just to second this. I too get really bad screen tearing with this theme, even on full screen videos. Apart from this my build is now perfect. Anybody any suggestions for things to try?

Hmm..I am not experiencing the screen tearing on my end...not sure what could be causing it,and if I am not getting it,it's tough to figure out how to fix it :/

Mind if I link to this video in the theme description? I would make my own,but my Elgato is acting funny lately and not holding the signal

Thanks for the reply. No doubt something on my end. I'll try figure it out and post the fix if I get it.  Amazing theme BTW. Inspired me to adjust my fade screens so that they match and create bezels that looking like the theme backgrounds. :)

Have a quick question - is there any way on the system selection page to make the systems list remain in place over the background videos?

I've been using the one with the fixed list and smaller video but i'd prefer the full screen video with list on top if possible!

(side question, is there any way to choose the ordering of the list so it's not alphabetical?)

Great theme!  Is there any way to remove the "halo effect" on game list?  While it looks cool,   I find it harder to read the game titles.  Thanks!

Find the following section in the view xaml you want to change (It's near the bottom)...and delete the highlighted section..

<!-- WHEEL -->
            <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="8" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logos"

I installed the theme into the themes folder but it just looks like this. Confused on what to do.

Looks normal to me...you can set a view change key/button in big box options to browse views

Where should the logo folders be inserted?

"Images/Platforms/(System Name)/Clear Logo/(System Name).png"

Find the following in the view xaml you want to change(It's near the top),and delete the highlighted sections..

<!-- FADING WHEEL -->
            <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.Opacity)" Storyboard.TargetName="FlowControl">
                <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.0" Value="1"/>
                <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.8" Value="1"/>
                <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.3" Value="0.15"/>

            </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
            <Int32Animation Storyboard.TargetName="FlowControl" Duration="00:00:1.9" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Panel.ZIndex)" From="10" To="2"/>

 

To change the order the platforms display,you can go into Launchbox and right click a platforms title and select edit,then in the edit menu you can assign sort titles to each platform to place them in any order you specify. I did the same exact thing to group by companies (ie;Nintendo,Sega,etc.). I labeled them A1,A2,A3,B1,B2,B3....that way if I ever add new systems,I won't have to change a bunch of sort titles...I just name the new one B4 or whatever.

Thanks for this!

Couple of follow up questions

1) How can I know which view is being used on a particular screen? Appreciate I could trial and error but just wondering in general... (in this instance I'm looking at the very first screen you get when you boot)

2) how will I ensure that remains between updates etc (I think you mentioned of a big one upcoming following 9.4 theme changes?)

Thanks!
