[RESOLVED] GameEx Arcade Edition v.18.51 Setup Wizard no options for Themes

[smithsa3]

I've installed GameEx Arcade Edition v.18.51 and SetupWizard does not have any sections\options for Themes.
Can anyone advise what I am missing\needing to configure to get this ?

Thanks.

You are correct as Arcade Edition is a simplified and derivative version of GameEx.

If you view the description for download of one of the GameEx Arcade Edition themes from the link below, you will see instructions on how to enable a theme other than default within GameEx Arcade Edition.

Thanks for your quick reply.  Unfortunately I didn't find anything on the Themes I downloaded.

Good news is that I did find figure out how to get this resolved.  There is a setting in Gameex.ini.  I got the idea to check this file when you asked for a copy of the .ini file for another issue you are dealing with
theme=Default - Default.
Just need to change the "Default - Default" to the name of the theme I wanted.

Cheers.

You found my bread crumbs! You can really load any of the regular GameEx themes that way, but the layouts may not fit cleanly with the Arcade Edition without doing some tweaking. Glad you got it sorted!
