Why that's the 'Dark Tipper' himself Kevin Rose! Definitely one of my heroes in tech. Did you share a micro with him? Is that Leo Laporte in some of the other pix?

Really looking forward to this theme. The new images look fantastic!

[Tempest]

Absolutely Fantastic.

Yup! Yup! Kevin Rose, Leo Laporte. Also Alex Albrecht from Diggnation and AOTS, and Dan Huard from the Screen Savers, Systm and Broken.

Lucky! Those guys are all awesome in my book. How you know them?

[Chazz]

I taught Kevin Rose all he know's about computers!

It was a 'Call For Help' get together, and Kevin & Alex did one of their first live Diggnation shows

Diggnation in Toronto

[nullPointer]

Awesome! . . . tell him to make more episodes of TheBroken. Looks like a really cool get together. That Toronto show was always one of my favorite diggnation episodes. I missed the pictures of Alex Albrecht and Dan Huard who are of course also (seemingly) pretty swell fellows.

And to stay on topic . . . Any chance that of revealing an emulator menu screen in action?

Still doing some work on the emulator screens, but this is what I've got so far. Please let me know if I'm missing anything, or if you'd like to see the screen laid out.

(the snapshot seems darker than what it really looks like)

Chazz, this is really coming along nicely! I noticed in the images you have shown so far that you have the menu bar at the very top (which is nothing bad as it makes good use of the space). How are you handling the placement of the media button bar and fullscreen/windowed toggle button?

[Tom Speirs]

Chazz, I attach a new GameEx.exe for testing. This fixes the first start bug/side effect.

Add DontZoomStartPageLogos=true to fade in instead of zoom the start page images.

GameEx.7z

[Chazz]

Outstanding! Thanks Tom! Works perfectly!!!

[Chazz]

Search screen done. Can we move the On Screen Keyboard, or is it stuck where it is?

[Draco1962]

The on-screen keyboard placement is not user modifiable.

Nice work I love XBMC

[nullPointer]

Bumpity Bump. Just wanted to check-in to once again express some enthusiasm for this sweet looking theme, and to see if it’s still being worked on. I sure hope that it is!

I recently decided to displace Media Browser as my primary media center in favor of XBMC, partly due to the awesome Eden 11.0 release. As a result I’m even more enthusiastic about the direction of Confluence:GEX. It will be awesome to have a consistent look and feel between XBMC and GameEx! Gunbare Chazz-san!

[Chazz]

Still hacking away, but all most done! Just finishing up the eBooks and Karaoke (does anyone even use them?)

Things are coming along nicely.

Hey guys,

I'm running into a weird problem with the font size when returning from an emulator. I've attached a video of the problem (and you can get a look at what I've been working on).

You can see the font size is correct until you return from playing a game, then the font becomes larger.

Any thoughts?

[Krakerman]

what is the font size in your GameEx Display settings set at?

[Chazz]

what is the font size in your GameEx Display settings set at?

MainFontSize=20

[Tom Speirs]

MainFontSize=20

Looks like this is a bug. Does it effect all text types?

[Chazz]

It only seems to effect the menu list font size, everything else is ok.

[Tom Speirs]

Should be fixed in the attached. Please try.

GameEx.7z

[Chazz]

No luck Tom. Same issue with that update.

[Tom Speirs]

Sorry, this should do it. It fixes a couple of other potential issues too hopefully.
