Help with video mode?

[The T]

Heya, I just tried viewing videos on GameEx for the first time, and... I was surprised by the interface, to say the least.

Is there any way to make the little bar on the bottom go away? It seems like it stays there for a good 30 seconds, which is a major problem when it takes up that much of the screen (and even because it's on the bottom of the screen, where subtitles go).

Also, is there any chance it's going to look better in future updates? It's really, really not pretty. Or is that based on what theme I'm using? (I'm also on a really low end PC, so if it lowers the quality on it based on my settings, there could be that too...)

It is affected by theme and resolution. It stays active for 5 seconds on my pc.

What are you running, and theme and resolution?

Using the Media Center V1 theme... as I mentioned in the other thread, I'm on a really underpowered machine and just wanted to see how it went for when I eventually carry it over to living room PC that'll be much more powerful than this one, so if it won't be an issue then, then it really doesn't matter. And I'll be sure to try out other themes to find one that looks more to my taste.

Still, having a button to make it go away could be useful anyway. (Or having an option to have it default to not appear, or only appear when you pause/fast forward...)

First of all you should try another skin that you like.

Second: Gameex has a lot of options to change you should take yourself time to configure everything correctly.

click on start --> programs -->gameex --> advanced configuration.

Under Display there is a setting called "Hide Toolbar"

You can also use the "Setup Wizard" for changing the configuration.
