Verted -- Layout for Vertical Cabinets

What information do you want to see you mentioned Emulator Name and Favorite Status... and Etc. What is included in "Etc"

I was wondering if I'd be able to adopt your code to my BIONIC THEME design that I have laying in a bottom drawer for some time.

Looks like it's more-or-less the same, not visually, but structurally. So maybe I can just get by with replacing overlays and moving objects around. This should be simple enough. I type of element from my design that is absent in your layout - is the frame around the game list. Do you think I can easily add an image overlay to the set of game list elements? So it will hide with the game list on a tab change.

i noticed that this theme will cause AM to crash from time to time when scrolling through videos. It happens about once every 10 bootups. i've had it happen on both windows 7 and win10.

Do you have history plug-in enabled?

I haven't seen it crash yet on win 10 or pi. Probably some configuration difference i need to account for. If you have any logs with errors let me know and I'll be happy to sort it out.

What information do you want to see you mentioned Emulator Name and Favorite Status... and Etc. What is included in "Etc" 

Emulator Name (Mame or FBA or Mame Libretro) it is for varios collections of roms. It is the same in other themes.

When i change the collections there is no name visible that indicate this is Mame Roms or Favorite roms for example.

Good suggestion

[mjnman]

Thanks for the theme. I like and use it.
There is a little bug when switch from "Video" to "Flayer", "Info" ecc. The game list disappears when go down or go up.

[mahuti]

I'll check my local. I feel like at some point I dealt with a few similar issues.

[mjnman]

Thank you....It would be interesting if there is a left side of the custom1 command.  ...maybe custom2

i had this same issue

[bjhille]

Is this layout being worked on or supported any longer?  I'm working on setting it up and I'm impressed. 

I found the same bug as others (if you scroll up or down while on the other tabs the game list disappears).  - I got this sorted out.  It was an easy fix (add "show_games_list()" in the play_video_tab() function as the last statement in the first if statement).

I know the custom 1 button advances the tabs at the bottom, is there a way to go back?  In other words, I wanted to use the joystick up and down to select the game, but the left and right to navigate the tabs.  Is this possible?  I found the code in the layout.nut and have modified it to accept "custom2", but actually going backwards through the tabs is more challenging.  It goes backwards once, then goes forward again....

Thanks.  Brian

[bjhille]

In case anyone is interested....

I updated the .nut file.  The disappearing game list is fixed and I got "custom2" to work to go backwards through the tabs as well.

Two issues remain which I could use help figuring out:
* random crashes - when scrolling it sometime crashes out of AM.  Same issue as the original nut file.
* sometimes when you start AM, the game list is hidden.  Need to scroll to a tab and back to restore.  Same issue as the original file.  I can't seem to figure this one out.

Thanks.  Brian
