I've made a patch that re-enables downloading cover art in a less irritating way. I've re-synced my patch with the latest revision (r140). I'll keep updating it until it or something similar is committed.

I know the whole deal about no configs blah blah blah, but Im trying to implement a few themes but as of yet haven't even been able to get my original to work, can someone atleast tell me if my structure is right

loader is in SD/apps/guiloader/
theme (along with theme.txt) is in SD/Gu/
config in root points to Gu as theme directory
of course titles.txt is also in root

any ideas, thanks in advance for not flaming me BlindDude, I love you too.

That's correct setting.

In config.txt, if your wii is using 16:9, put wtheme_path = SD:/Gu/
otherwise, put theme_path = SD:/Gu/

i have my config.txt, my titles.txt, and my images folder on the root of my SD.
my theme path in config.txt points to my images folder where i have my theme.txt, my disc images folder, and my cover images.

thanks hungyip, any idea why it might not be working, are the txt files really picky on how they are created like with the hack.ini on preloader... maybe?

@priapism, so thats workin for you? I'll give it a try

 

[jarock]

Thanks hungyip.

So what do I do with the patch files? Do you need to tinker with the config.txt file at all with this patch?

 

[fozzieb]

ok here is a mod of adam_the_1st' gui mod as a theme,

Theme

i put it in my sd:/apps/usbloader/ folder

config txt

theme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/theme/

or for 16:9

wtheme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/theme/

you can move the buttons by looking at the theme.txt

have a play.

Cheers.

 

[adam_the_1st]

Ok, I've got it working, seems I had to use the wide setting, duh

@fozzie: They seem to be counting out from the top corner, so say on Standard Def your workable area is 640 by 480, you'll have to estimate from there,

EDIT: haha. looks like you beat me to it, I will take a look at your files there, thanks for your hard work

Download the source code. cd to the folder with the Makefile. Run "patch -p1 < filename.patch". This will update the source code from r140 to match what's in my git. The png file will need to go in source/images. Run make and send the boot.dol to your wii.

I won't be making binaries as my intention is not to fork, but to get this included (or a similar fix) into the main code. Until it's included, I will periodically sync my patches with a current commit and upload new files to my media fire.

The whole point of the configtxt is so you can change it. It puts a lot of the crap people want to change all in 1 place. No, you won't brick the wii by changing this file.

It works fine.
Two "details":
- when I navigate with the up and down arrows, it could be good to be able to run the selected game directly with button A. If I understood well the version I have, even if the right game is selected, I have to go with the cursor on the game before to push A. If you want to avoid mistakes, it can be done by clicking on the cover.
- when I put the cursor on the scrollbar, it growths, ok. But when I move it while pressing A button, it becomes again small when I arrive near up and down arrows. Is it normal ?

i see that i bit off more than i can chew. you are talking greek to me. i will wait till a clean version comes out with the changes included.

 

[fozzieb]

@adam_the_1st, it's not quite right but close enough for me. I hade to change the background to remove your logo as i can't see how to move the free space text.

Love your work, keep it up.
