Themes / Re: Need some help with the listbox (games list)
« on: January 25, 2017, 10:33:59 PM »
probably should be in "scripting " section but any way

Here is what i have done with some of my own themes because i felt the same thing

i just add it as a "fe.do_nut("scripts/gamelist.nut");"
but you can just add it in the layout.nut if you want.  modify as needed
ie: spacing, font size.......

Code: [Select]

local list = fe.add_text("[Title]", 036, 030, 800, 100 );

hope this helps you!   peace..

Fantastic! It took a little bit of work with the code provided but it was well worth the effort :) Now, the games list in the layout is seamless and looking the way I prefer, as shown below. Thank you very much!

Hi bundangdon,
I don't think there is any built-in solution for this (not according to the documentation and the code ...), why don't you use a conveyor of Text objects ?

Thanks for the response! Yep, I've checked the documentation and even looked at other layouts 'nut files and haven't had any luck. I'm not all that great at coding and have made all my layouts with a lot of 'cut and paste' techniques :) How would I go about using such a conveyor?

Themes / Need some help with the listbox (games list)
« on: January 24, 2017, 10:29:44 PM »
Hi everyone! I've mentioned this before a while back but didn't get any response and I'm (again) wondering if I could get some help with the listbox, for the games list. When using wheels, the list of games is seamless, without any separation or breaks at the beginning or end. However, when making a games list (without wheels), this doesn't seem to be the case. Here's an example (screenshots below)

What I would like to do is make the games list continuous/seamless without any separation, often implemented in other frontends. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Here's the code from the layout .nut file

// Listbox Name
local l = fe.add_listbox( 1455, 159, 439, 825 );
l.rows = 12;
l.charsize = 27;
l.selbg_alpha = 0;
l.set_selbg_rgb( 100, 100, 100 );
l.set_rgb( 175, 175, 175 );
l.set_sel_rgb( 255, 255, 255 );
l.align = Align.Left;
l.sel_style = Style.Bold;

Any help would be very much appreciated :)

Themes / Re: System Menu

I've setup my display menu as per the Unified Themes instructions. Now everything is fine except no art appears in the displays menu. I've only using FBA and MAME (mame4all).  There's text to indicate those two emulators but no art. Can you advise ?

Be sure that you're using the latest version of attractmode and the artwork for the displays menu goes in the menu-art folder :)

I am so lost on how to make a systems menu?  any help would be great!

I was pretty confused too at first but I finally figured it out :) Go to the configure screen, select "Displays" followed by "Displays Menu" options, then select "Menu style/layout" and choose the layout you want. The layouts should be in your "layouts" directory, and all of the artwork for the "Displays" menu should be in the "menu-art" folder. Hope this helps  ;D

Nice help a lot.

One more question.How to configure the AM to start in the DISPLAY MENU?

No problem! And sorry for the late response. The answer to your question is easy breezy! :) Go to configuration ('tab' on the keyboard"), select general and for "Startup Mode", choose "Show Displays Menu" (as seen in the screenshot below). Also, make sure that you're using the latest version of attractmode for this feature

Great work! Very simple and useful :) I have only issue with this though. How can I reverse the order of the wheel? It doesn't seem to follow the same direction system as the other layout wheels

just change the...
"marquee.index_offset = 1; "    to -1
and
"marquee.index_offset = -1;"   to 1

above and below ...ok

Thank you! Sorry for the late response but that fixed it :)

Themes / Re: Sub menu
« on: January 06, 2017, 08:10:41 PM »
Check out the "submenu.nut" in the modules folder. I think it's what you want. You'll need to setup your layout.nut to call it.

Just wondering, is there any tutorial available for this? I'm sure this is (or will be) a highly requested feature and I'm intrigued on how to set up sub-menus properly :)

Add all objects to a surface. Change opacity progressively using ticks on transition start layout.

Thank you very much for the answer! Are there any examples in other layouts or code where I could see this? :)

Has anyone out there tried this with their themes? Just wondering if it's possible to 'fade' an entire layout

Anything that makes layout creation easier and more effective, especially for us non-programmer types, I'm all for it! :)

General / Need some help using fade with themes
« on: December 18, 2016, 05:11:59 AM »
Hey all! I've been trying to find some information about this and have looked through the forums and even at the code in some of the other themes but I haven't been able to find the answer as of yet. I've noticed that there is a fade module and I've been able to get it to work with various elements such as artwork, videos, etc. while customizing my own (personal) themes but is there any way to implement a fade when themes start/change? Any information would be much appreciated :)

Great stuff! And it's really nice to see a theme being made for the systems menu, which I've yet to see up until now :)
