Hi all,

Help needed. I have a few issues with gameEx that i was wondering if you could help me out with:

1. some of the gfx on the flat menu (the only type i use) are kind of 'semi transparent' - there are black blocks in the background where I'm guessing other peoples' builds don't have that?

2. Headkaze's cfg... how much installation is required? I've followed the basic steps but the default cfg (ie. the one that's always been with gameEx) is still appearing for any game I run.

Sorry for the vagueness. I'm, quite drunk. BIG love for Headkaze & tom.

... also: anyone know why there's no option to have gameEx fully exit, even if it's been launched from vista media center? I requested this nearly a year ago and thought it was a low-cost. logical inclusion... anyway: thanks all round!!

Hmm... fair enough. I've attached the pic - you can see the black area around the logo is the problem. Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks Brian

Hahahahaha

I guess you werent that drunk after all... hehehe

What theme are you using... and can you post your gameex log...

In your theme folder there is an INI can you post the contents of that as well ...

Have you tried changing themes?

That's could be the image using the wrong background color, so it's not detecting as transparent. Sound possible?

That picture kinda wigged me out for a second. It's got Paint showing through slightly...weird.

Are you running XP with a type of theme that replicates Vistas transparency?

thanks for the help guys.

i'm running on vista. the pic shows the 'default - mce - glossy', but i've tried 'default - default - animated' and others and still have this black garbage around the icons.

could i just re-install over the top of the files already there with a fresh installation, and maintain all my settings and such? or is that a bit drastic? i'm worried gameex has slowed down some as well lately.

thanks.

Yeah I noticed I get the same black borders too. I don't generally use that theme though so only noticed it when I installed GameEx on a new machine.
