Background / theme question

[DietCoke]

I'm working on building a theme based off the Carbon theme, and one thing that I can't figure out is why I can't seem to apply a background to the all games menu. The foreground "frame" shows up, but it seems as though the game backgrounds are overriding the background that I've specified. I tried to adjust it so the foreground frame included the background, but that didn't seem to do anything. I did click "Edit" to ensure that I was editing the right graphic filename. I'm betting that there has to be a setting that I've chosen that overrides the theme background with the specific game one, but I've yet to find it. The backgrounds do show up for other parts of GameEx, this seems specific to the All Games page.

Any thoughts or recommendations? Banging my head against the wall isn't helping... much.

That page is only for 'All Games' menu in the list, not for all the games.

My apologies if you knew that already and i misunderstood.

No, I've got that part. I am going into the "All Games" section for Mame - sorry for not being more clear on that!

[Adultery]

That's not the right page.

The 'All Games' menu is under the 'Emulated Games' section. That page is something different and uses whatever your MAME bg is.

The page you're working on literally lists every game for every emulator in one list.

If you are seeing game snaps or videos, likely you will need to click Change View in the menu a few times until your background image is showing instead of the game snaps.

LOL

So I guess I didn't get that part, Adultery I am pretty sure I am getting what you're saying this time. We'll see when I get home!

Thanks, Draco. I did try that, but never got any background even after changing the view for around 20 mins. I'm thinking Adultery's explanation explains why I'm not getting anywhere

If it is stuck, take a look at this post. You may need to download the file Tom posted and run the executible as instructed to bring everything to default viewing of our background images.
