Theme creation question

[stigzler]

Hello chaps,

I'm tinkering with theme design again (uh-oh..). I've hit a bit of a stumbling block. I'm looking to create custom module and emulator layouts, either by editing the ini's directly or via Theme Editor. I've made a copy of the "Default" theme for experiments. 

So I've set CustomEmulatorLayouts and CustomModuleLayouts to true (and checked in Theme.ini - all present and correct). This creates a whole load of ini's in the [ThemeName]\MEDIA folder (e.g. mostplayed_module.ini). I've moved the Title item to the top left via designer. Checked in the corresponding ini and that has changed correctly. However, when I run GameEx, it doesn't move the Title for Most Played Games. Weirdly, however, if I change the ini's directly and then open the theme in Theme Editor, this observes the changes correctly. 

I've tried Change View a load of times, but that doesn't move the title. I'm sure I'm missing something daft. 

Another weird thing - if I change _module.ini - those changes are shown in GameEx. 

Attached zipped test theme. Any ideas?

try changing:

AdvancedGFX=False

to

AdvancedGFX=True

I was toying with the idea of revamping themes and doing something new.

Theres little interest elsewhere it seems. Do you want to work with me?

Ha! Perfect + how the hell did I miss that? I'd read about changing that setting on other theme posts. 

On the other topic - you haven't seen my coding - it's like a butcher's dog's breakfast! I'll pm you on.

No coding required buddy. Ill do that. I need someone to test and create test themes. Also provide therapy!
