I've just used the tool to correct the mistakes I made in my hand made custom menu file. I have a few comments that probably should be addressed sooner or later:

1) In GameEx with custom menus enabled on V2 theme: When you load up GameEx the selection cannot be seen. If I press up/down, it doesn't show up. I can hear it, but can't see it. If I press right the selection shows up and I can then navigate correctly. High priority

2) In the Custom Menu Editor: If I select add a new item (menu or item) the item goes to the end of the current section. If the selected item is in a sub-menu, it goes to the end of the sub-menu. I would have expected it to go after the current selection. Low priority

3) In the Custom Menu Editor: If you select "Move Up" or "Move Down", the window is automatically scrolled all the way to the bottom. This is only slightly annoying with my setup since I have a relatively short list, but for more complicated setup this could be obnoxious. Medium priority

4) In the Custom Menu Editor: When I load the editor on my cab locally, the window doesn't display correctly. The buttons get clipped on the right and I can't see everything for the stuff below them. This is not a problem logging in remotely (running at a higher resolution). I have a similar problem with other config apps, so I typically adjust settings remotely. Low-Medium priority

5) I didn't see any way to add blank lines currently. Hopefully this can be added at some point. I tried adding an emulator with a blank title and the config tool erased it on the next load. I also tried a blank sub-menu and it was also erased. I think this is an important thing for clarity, but I don't know about other people. Medium priority

I know the editor took a lot of work to put together so I don't want to sound too critical...this is intended as helpful/constructive criticism. I know if I put this together, I would still be working on things and lacking most of the functionality! I'll post other things I run across if this is well received (and of course I find anything else ;) ).

THANKS! :D

I'm having an issue with one of my sub menus that I can't figure out. Perhaps you could take a look at it for me Tom? I have a "System Utilities" sub menu that contains the theme picker among other things. When I enter that menu, I can't select anything but the theme picker. I press up and down but the selection remains on the theme picker item despite hearing the movement sound. Any ideas?

CustomMenu.ini.txt

Ok, so I didn't screw things up :blink:

I noticed that when the theme picker is selected that the item information gives the path to the file. I don't necessarily care, but it's info that doesn't improve the experience. No biggie though...

Just curious if there's a way to get emulators to load in the same menu as MAME? Ideally I would have a menu for Arcade games and one for Console games. Then in the MAME menu, I would be able to list:

all games

CPS games

NeoGeo games

Model2 Games

Sony Playstation games

Rotary joystick games

mature games

etc.

Right now, I cannot add anything to the standard MAME list (CPS, Model2, etc). This might be a lot of work making it not realistic at the moment. I'll work with what's available since it's already great, but I would eventually like a way to get the menu above working.

Thanks again Tom!

How do the new Custom menus work with the Custom Backgrounds for Themes? Can I have Custom Backgrounds for each Menu?

It currently uses the "start" background.

Just tested and works on my end! :blink:

Perhaps try a manual install and see if it fixes anything. If not then post your log.
