Been working for months on designing new theme to match my cab. I did try to get my head around theme editor, but found it rather unfathomable, and struggled to find any comprehensive help guides on how to use it. I did try via searching these forums, but I do find the forum backend a little lacking....
Anywhoos - do downloaded the excellent AfterDark Theme. Just went through changing all the graphics - no layout changes or anything.
Today, I downloaded another theme, which I saw had a "change view" button - pressed it + wow!! Video and picture previews - how cool!
However, when went back to my theme, all of my pages were messed up. Now I just have a mess of a front end.
RageOn helpfully posted elsewhere that change view was disabled in the theme ini - do re-enabled. However - there seems to be very little rhyme or reason to how the change view cycles - and can't get my theme back to it's default view for love nor money. Sometimes I will be cycling through change view in emulators, for instance and then will all of a sudden jump to mame selection screens.
I really am hoping that there is an easy solution to this and that I haven't just lost months of work.
It's a shame, because a user friendly theme editor would be great + the ability to line up those different views would be fantastic. However, all I want at the moment is just my plain boring text-selection back please!!!
Resolved - just kept cycling! Heh - Still curious now though about the views system! Think I'll wait for the new editor before I go tinkering though! Is it a big overhaul or just tweaks?
