This question for game-specific background/foreground images has been gone over at length in a few other threads for which I believe a Feature Request has also been placed. Themes have no bearing on this type of functionality (since it does not exist).

I am really liking your theme! It is very clean, simple, colorful without being gaudy. The reverse bevel on the image windows and list window is a nice touch - adds a little dimension to what would otherwise be a flat surface. The headers and footers look great as well!

Awesome! Can't wait to update tonight! Thanks Tom!

I have used it with both Vista x86 and 7 x64 and have had fewer problems OS related to be quite honest.

At what resolution? This occured for me with a 1920 x1200 theme (max res for the monitor is 1680 x 1050 so scales down) and maybe this is the issue, but have not seen it occur before.

I have discovered a bug of sorts and will provide screen shots as needed when I get home from work tonight. When pressing the Play, Next Track or Previous Track buttons, the display at the bottom of the screen does not extend to the very beginning of the words as they temporarily display. Not sure if this is an issue when using wide screen formats or what. On themes with lighter background images, the bar behind the words aligns with the start of the second letter, giving appearance that the first letter is missing when against a white or very light background.

When it comes time to lose some fingers to the table saw, er, um, build my own cab, I will have to keep this in mind! Initially my concern was how much the acrylic weighs compared to the OEM trackball? I am sure there are some weight limitations as the additional mass would put wear on the rollers outside of design tolerances and wear-down/break easier. On further review of the juggling balls they should be alright, maybe even a little lighter (which may be a different obstacle to overcome) but since I don't have one will have to live vicariously through your experiences!

To be honest there may even be limits to the amount of data you can put into a spoiler! I think I will stop at about 30 total systems if not less. With so many things needing updates, etc., I want to have some time to actually play a few games once in a while!

Looking pretty good, Krake! The only problem I might have with this image as representative of Interactive Fiction is that it is brand exclusive to Infocom games and does cover the SAGA and other adventures that came out in the same format. Otherwise, looking pretty good!

Hit your Select Button (or Enter on keyboard) to toggle through the single page, full page, double page views.

Ouch - I do feel your pain and I don't even have a cab yet. Hopefully the new monitor will exceed the expectations for the one it will replace!

I'll be good, at least to me. It isn't what most would consider as an arcade theme but I think it will lend itself nicely to an HTPC theme especially since it has both music and movie ties.

Just a little teaser about my next theme... It is actually something that has been on/off and in the works for a while. Since it is something that I have enjoyed for many years since my teens, I have wanted to take time to make it just right. Other themes have felt forced at times to get to completion. This one will be ready when it is ready.

You may want to read the information about Super Model 0.2a. While it is better, still has a way to go before being considered out of beta.

Just thought I would share a little something I created, starting with a tutorial I found here. Took me roughly 20 - 30 mins to flesh out the details I wanted. Behold.. Planet GIMP! Also toyed with adding some TIE fighters... obviously will need to work on how to add motion effects, phaser cannon fire, etc.

I have noticed that the date tends to be truncated if used close to a margin. This limits placement within themes of the date field. As you can see in the image, the last part of the date is missing, but there is plenty of screen real estate available for a complete date, even using a larger font. Let me know if you require anything else. This is using my latest Hexed theme. This issue is also what triggered one of my more recent Feature Requests to allow the user to select a date format (Verbose which we have, US Long - 09/25/2011, US Short - 9/25/11, US/Euro Very Short - 9/25, or Euro Long - 2011/09/25, Euro Short - 11/9/25). Thanks!

Correct you are. You illustrated perfectly about justification of the image. If an image or text is "left-justified" then the image will be moved to the left of center to its margin, "right-justified" towards the right margin. Currently, the images are side-by-side, but both are "centered" within their individual margins. This is what causes the "gap" between them that you see.

Thanks, Tom!

I agree it would look better. If I understand what you are saying, you would prefer to see the Left Image right-justified and the Right Image left-justified so that they will come together at the margins in the middle. At present, it appears that the images are center-justified. It may be possible but much depends on the flexibility of the program Tom is using to render these images. If the images are not scanned well, there is always the possibility that there may be some gap showing.

Can you be more specific as to the theme(s) or graphic element(s) to which you are referring? Have you attempted to create a theme or graphics to use with GameEx? You made a similar post back in January yet offered little information. Is your issue with the rendering of the selector bars used to highlight text, error dialogues and the like?

LOL! Welcome back, my friend! We need a little crazy to keep it interesting! BTW, even though the name changes as post totals goes up by default, you can change that in your profile settings to read whatever ya want (keeping it clean, of course).

I just clicked on each one a bunch of times until I got to the green one and he lost his head! LOL!

Awesome update! Thanks to both!

PDF tends to be a resource hog (blame it on Adobe). All most comic books are is jpgs in an orderly naming series. If you zip them as cbz or cbr, then they can be read sequentially. @Null - I am loving ComicRack, BTW. It has been ages since I really enjoyed a good comic book. It's a bit ironic how we have become so complex in our hobbies to enjoy the simple things.that used to entertain us for hours.
