[RESOLVED] Display issue - Menu Bar

[Draco1962]

While working a new theme utilizing the foreground top-most settings, I have noticed that, no matter how far right on the X coordinate I place the start of the menu bar, it defaults to the same location.

I know that the text options displayed is dynamic relative to where in GameEx you are (Start, vs MAME or Emu), but regardless, we should be able to place the bar where we need it and regardless of the length of the bar, the text options should scroll forwards and backwards within the length of the bar selected for one's theme.

EDIT - Attempted to send screen capture but keep getting "Error No file was selected for upload" errors when using classic uploader and "upload failed" errors when using Flash uploader. This is occurring in both IE and Firefox

Wow! A theme inspired by one of the greatest band of all time!

My compliments Draco, you're really a theme machine!

Thanks! Pink Floyd has always been my favorite classic rock bands and The Wall is my favorite album.

Just a few points of clarification. The menu bar shown in the example actually has an X coordinate of 960. That would be the halfway mark in the image. The "Back" "Home" and "Exit" should be starting to the right of that if that is the case. GameEx ignores the X coordinate altogether. Also, if the list of menu items is long, it will exceed the assigned width of the object when it should be bound within it, and yet cause the text to scroll into view when advancing the mouse/joystick to the right.

Sounds like a reasonable request to me. :-)

Tom - While you are looking at Necromancyr's Menu Bar issue, would you mind taking a look at this one as well? I believe that they may be part of the same issue. In my opinion, it deserves a look as it is very limiting to the designs that can be implemented. I have several themes that are dependent upon a fix for this... Thanks!

Marking this as Resolved as of 12.18 release. I tested and it works as expected - at the start of the X coordinate and within the width assigned, the text scrolls toward the left allowing for more flexibility in placement of the Menu Bar and working with foreground top-most settings. Thanks, Tom!
