Theme Problems (Gameex Bug?)

[Treign]

I'm using the B;ue as the sky theme because it looks beautiful on my 1080p TV, i have Gameex setup not to change my resolution. All my emulators are setup for 1080p as well. I don't have any issues accept this one.

When you navagate the menu's the start page is listed as "Sa .." when i goto for example my Sega Master System the page is listed as "Sega M t r S s te" Like random letters are missing, it dose this for nearlly all the menus.

I've tried different Themes and some are fine while others are not. My first thought it was a Font issue so i tried changing it to another but still got the issue. I even tried copying a working theme that never had the issues ini file directly into the broken one but this still produced the same issue. It looked all screwed up but you could clearly see that the start page was listed as "Sa .."

Then next thing i tried was changing the font's but this did nothing as well. I noticed no matter what i changed didn't effect the color and or font of the "selected menu" which is what is giving me my issue leading me to beleive that the issue was encoded into gameex itself and theme changing didn't change how this was set up.

My questions are

Is this a bug?

Is this a resolution issue?

Before i called it quits i was in the process of making a 1080p theme but i could not fix this issue and gave up on it. I'm currently using the 1024X768 Theme and the issue still remains. Any suggestions?

I just tried the Theme Editor but that didn't fix it either. I Tried changing the "title" font/size/Height/Width everything i could imagine. I don't think Gameex likes 1080p its the only answer. I made Title 1px by 1px to hide it, this should not be the solution but its all i can think of.

I have had exactly the same problem a few times and ended up deleteing the theme.ini and starting again. I really cannot remember what caused it?

Have you tried converting the theme to a V4 theme using the editor?

May be worth a try?

I haven't tried converting to Versoin 4, its probley the only thing i never tried. Ill give it a while and post back here of the outcome when i gets a chance!

It is worth a try, but I think it is a resolution issue. Tom would know better than I.

I wish I could remember what cured it? I have a resolution currently at 1920x1200 and that works fine. Perhaps setting a slightly larger or smaller resolutiob and letting GameEx scale it will help?

Weird. Glad to see that the theme graphics looks that good in a 16:9 setting. Perhaps it has to do with how the font rendering's done while stretching from 1024x768 -> 1920x1080?
