A few quick UI questions

[SkEvolver]

I have a wireless 360 pad to control my GameEx setup.

1) Browsing the UI, i can scroll up and down using the analog stick, is it possible to configure it to also use the d-pad for this? (i couldnt find anywhere in the 'advanced' gameex wizard to hwlp with this.

2) on the 360, the user can often scroll page up and page down by using the L and R triggers on the pad. GameEx offers the ability to hold a button, and then use the analog up and down to scroll by page.... but this is not ideal.. is it possible to config gameex to read the L and R triggers to scroll up and down by page?

(ive considered using a windows app to map PGUP and PGDN to the L+R triggers... but wanted to see if it's possible within GameEX first before adding yet another app to my pc.

Just thought of something else I wanted to ask, oops!

3) On my main menu, I have: Radio, Config, Start Screensaver, Weather, GameEX homepage & News. I'd like to get rid of all of these. In the wizard, I said NO to Radio, but its still in the menu? Am I able to remove these sections, or is this a VIP/donation feature?

4) I prefer to use Arial font on the UI than Trebuchet MS, but when I use Arial, every capital letter "A" has a strange graphical glitch before it (see screenshot), can it be fixed?

greatful for any help.

Cant help with the paging a the moment, but D-PAD should be supported in the last few versions. Just configure the controls to use the D-PAD, or dont use custom controls then it will just act as directional along with the analog stick.

You should be able to remove just about everything. I just tried disabling radio and it worked for me.

Ill look into the font issue.

2) Use an ahk script to replace the right and left button down with a double keystroke.

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate the idea of not using custom controls (to enable both dpad and analog control in the menu).... but if I did that, I'd lose my custom 'back button' (B button on 360 pad), to go back through the menus...

(I guess I could use a program to map keyboard keys to the 360 pad though... and set B to simulate a 'backspace' keyboard buttonpress.

Font issue.. I've switched back to using Trebuchet for now as I couldn't work out what was causing the glitch.

Apart from Radio (which I've set to NO in the wizard), I can't see any disable options for these in the wizard: Config, Start Screensaver, Weather, GameEX homepage & News.

Are you using the latest version? That should definitly turn off the radio. First two should be under under Enable/Disable. For the latter two disable these two "HTML Applications".

You can assign multiple controls to the same function, I didnt mention it as I didnt know your skill level. You can do it by editing custominput.ini.

I seem t0 have missed the html enable/disable side of things. I didnt think to check in there to enable disable features.

I had set 'load radio stations' to NO in the wizard, but not 'disabled' the radio in the advanced config. Same goes for the html enable/disable- i would not have thought to go into the advanced config to find these. How did the advanced config come about? Did it evolve an extra tweaking area after the wizard was written?

I still can't seem to remove the news option in the menu, to my knowledge I've disabled every html entry (using the advanced config).

I will look into the custominput.ini, it sounds interesting.

thanks for the continued help, I've sorted quite a few things now

Disabling Radio worked for me in the wizard. Thats how I tested it. It should be the same setting. Im pretty sure everything else can be disabled from the wizard. Should just be enable RSS News for the news. The advanced config app came first, but the setup wizard contains just about all the settings apart from text customisation. The idea with the setup wizard was to simplify setup believe it or not. GameEx is still damn complicated though in my opinion, the main reason is because its evolved over time. Your other option with this would have been to use the custom menu editor. Then you can make the menus look however you like.
