Help with theme editor :(

[helpman]

Hi there!

I use a modified "arcade84" skin, but as I want to make my own clean skin, I chose to start from scratch using the default as base.

I'm stuck with something, though.

the MENU object. On arcade84, it shows (for mame games) 4 rows, by artist, by year... but now I just see it as a bar. I can't change box size dragging, just changing the size numbers on the left.

anyway, when I load the skin, the menu options shows as an horizontal bar, not as several options one below another.

the game's list in arcade 84 shows as another text list with small icons on the left. on my skin it shows picture thumbnails as default.

Also on image2 it shows marquees, or cabinets, or whatever... is there any way to just show one kind of content? like marquees or title screens?

and some games shows background pictures too and not the standard background for the emulator.

what can I do? I can't find any option to change them!

I managed to change the game's list to text using gameex's change view option, the menu bar keeps showing as a bar, and not a top-down list

Is there anything I can do to choose the default (and only) view for my skin?

EDITED: Visual Pinball and Future Pinball won't show under templates or objects... how can I add them to the theme editor?

EDITED2: Fixed. just adding them to gameex and when I reloaded the theme in theme editor they showed up

this is my editor screen:

here's what I my theme look like using arcade84 as base: (notice the lower right menu box, with the items on an top-down list, and not a left-right bar)

here's what I get now on my new theme: (so far)

EDITED: Found those backgrounds on a folder inside media/logos/backgrounds. I deleted them and now it's ok...

but when I see the screen where you can select games, my background picture is there... and when I go to the main menu, it won't load. The bacground gets way too dark... and I don't know why?

From the start menu, arcade selection (mame, zinc, model 2), mame submenu... I see there's no background, just black.

But on the rom selection screen it loads perfectly :?

ANOTHER EDIT:

After reading this thread http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/12872-bug-custom-menu-background-images-no-show/

and out of curiosity, edited theme.ini and changed version to 2. Using custom menus the background pictures problem was fixed.

Maybe there's some bug on versions 3 and 4 of themes?

I uploaded the theme to my cabinet and works fine... except the menu on the bottom right corner. The menu still shows as an horizontal bar and I don't know how to fix it.

And the first time I launched it the view changed to something like the default theme one. Loading arcade84 sets everything right as soon as you load it, but with mine I need to enable the change view option and click several times to make it work

CustomMenu.ini

GameEx.ini
