In other news I have added "Backgrounds" to the download service. These are compatible with GameEx. There are a few too many false positive matches right now but Circo is going to work on that.

Thank you again Tom!

[fRequEnCy]

Thanks Tom!

[Adultery]

Can I get some more details on the "background" thing you mentioned?

Thanks for the update Tom!

[Tom Speirs]

They are background (fan art) images. Since a few versions ago there is an available emulator path for background image. When set when browsing the list they show as a background image.

[Adultery]

I see. In place of the theme's background? Like full screen? I guess I'm worried about list positioning (not sure how that comes into play without trying it out first).

[Tom Speirs]

Yes, full screen background. Does not effect positiioning.

[Adultery]

I know, I meant the art as opposed to the list. As in the list may overlap the best parts of the picture depending on the theme's layout.

Awesome update! Thanks Tom!

Did the game loading screens make it in this update??

[Tom Speirs]

Thank yoy Tom

Did the game loading screens make it in this update??

Yes, I added the "Instructions" path to the setup wizard. Either use that or the existing controls path.

[starbuck]

Great thanks.

Can you use both and they load one after the other.

[Tom Speirs]

Great thanks.

Can you use both and they load one after the other.

That is how it is meant to work, yes.

[Raitsa]

Was there supposed to be some Future Pinball improvements in this one?

Or in the future?

[Tom Speirs]

That was the ability too send the left mouse click to fix the focus issue. Its in this release.
