The option is there, not sure why they dont.... I will ask the person that does it to do that from now on.

If youre trying to get a theme to work and its not... take a look at your theme path. At the end you just need to add a "/" Thats what happened to me
SD:/theme/black/

Lag!

Double post

i agree with icpmattjuggalo muda fago!...

Cant someone post a template/grid showing the numbers and which way they go? Like an easy reference pic?

 

[BlindDude]

nice, shame most of the picks are coverd by the box art an games list!
Yeah but when you scroll and move you can see the background with no problem.

starstremr could you move the pic of super girl to the other side and make bg_options.png transparent

all the game names will cover her up all the time this way she is only covered when you stop moving the wii remote

the game list and box art need to be semi-transparent in order for this to really catch on

I have a little treat for you guys... I transparencized the newest 3D box art pack from the 29th.. These are about 30% transparent.

I tried it out with the captain america theme and the family guy them... I really like the look of these... Maybe someone can do something with it.

1471 3D boxarts see through

I am designing a fully-layered Photoshop template of the GUI USB Loader! When I'm finished, I will post it!
Right now, however, I only have the 4:3 main screen completed. I need someone to post the sub-menu screens, so I can create them!

Here's what it looks like, so far:

Someone please post screenshots, so I can finish the sub-menus, and get this out to you guys!!


Cheers!

I was thinking of just an image with grid lines showing the Coordinate locations... For instance,, I have no idea wehre 45, 236 is on the screen.

That make sence?... So we KNOW where we can put buttons and such.

Please allow me to apologize up front in regards to my noobish question here, but I am still having a bit of trouble getting a custom theme to work

I have read and re-read the posts, but I still have the default theme loading every time I go into the usb gui loader....

I downloaded the latest r217.dol.......put it in the apps/usbloader/boot.dol

the sd card looks like this:

sdroot:/-->has apps, config, and images folders

inside config folder--->config.txt which has wtheme_path = SD:/config/mytheme/ and also the mytheme folder

inside mytheme folder-->all the pngs and theme.txt



what am i missing? sorry i'm such a noob

So the coordinates are the same basic x,y coordinate system that computer graphics have been using since... well at least since i did my first graphics stuff using QBASIC on my 386. So its, just like the Cartesian plane in geometry, so x before y in the x,y format. x increases as you expect it to going this way -> (right), but y increases this way v (down)
so the coordinates go like you are reading a piece of paper. The reason why this is is originally people directly modified the videoram and the entire screen was arranged line by line with the left most pixel first, and then wrapping around. So if for instance you wrote 325 green pixels to your 320x240 display, you would get 320 green pixels on the first line, and 5 green pixels at the beginning of the next line.

So enough with the history lesson here is how it goes

So to move something right, you add to to x
to move left you subtract from x
to move up you subtract from y
to move down you add to y

examples:
i currently have this setting
covers_coords = 20, 180

to move my covers 10 pixels to the right i would change the setting to
covers_coords = 10, 180

to move my covers 25 pixels to the right i would change the setting to
covers_coords = 45, 180

to move my covers 32 pixels down i would change the setting to
covers_coords = 20, 212

to move my covers 100 pixels up i would change the setting to
covers_coords = 10, 80

hopefully that covers what you need to know
