Need help with creating a theme

[IMBerzerk]

I'd really like to make my own theme, and have been trying. But there are some pieces that I just can't seem to figure out.

1. Where are the scroll-bar settings for the name of the song that plays in Media Player? I want to fit it within a small range, but it shows too wide presently.

2. The 'Image 2' selection is based on what? In mame I either get the 3d Cabinet if present, or a title.. or a flyer...

3. The 'By Manufacturer, By Category...etc" menu.. where is that and how can I manipulate it?

Is there a new version of the theme editor that maybe I am not using?

Thanks for the help, maybe this will help others as well.

All the best,

IMB

1. Where are the scroll-bar settings for the name of the song that plays in Media Player? I want to fit it within a small range, but it shows too wide presently.

I believe you are referring to the "Now playing / Next" feed that appears at the top. THere is no means of manipulating the placement or attributes. I know that this has been requested at some point, but you may want to submit a feature request just the same as it is something that I feel should be user controlled via Theme Editor.

2. The 'Image 2' selection is based on what? In mame I either get the 3d Cabinet if present, or a title.. or a flyer...

Image2 is going to show items in the following order (to my best recollection): 3D Cabinet if present, cabinet, marquee, title, flyer.

3. The 'By Manufacturer, By Category...etc" menu.. where is that and how can I manipulate it?

There is limited control of showing some of the items in the menu to be found via the Setup Wizard under Enable / Disable Features.

ah-HA! Your answer is the diamond I have been searching for... yes, I will submit a request. It is definately something that should be user controlled if the user is truly making a custom theme set-up.

Really, many of the options regards to the theme in Setup Wizard should be moved to the theme editor... it makes sense when you are building it, where to place items, size... etc.

THanks for the help Draco!
