I have a request.. I am trying to make my first theme but I noticed that when I hover over a button, it actually grows..

I was wondering, while making themes, since we have to make the normal button AND the botton_over, couldnt we resize it ourselves? Because the theme I am making doestn look good with the buttons automatically resizing.

Please?

Anyone else?

Lots of mirror.

As a fellow theme maker I noticed this, and thought about it as far as doing two frame animations, because the growing in size would mess it up.

But I think it would be a lot easier on the majority of theme makers to leave the auto-grow in how it is.
And if you have an animation you want to do, then you can manually create a smaller image (instead of having all of us manually create a bigger one, if we want it to grow, such as the default)
Maybe it could be turned into a function for the theme.txt. Auto_grow = (1) 0

Perhaps a helpful programmer could scour the code and let us know what the parameters of the auto-grow are, so we can counter with smaller images if we don't want it.
 
First and foremost, great job so far to the entire dev team, it's shaping up quite nicely.

Now for the nagging

I'm making a little theme and trying to change things around a bit, but a couple of issues are popping up, mainly with the gamelist

The strangest issue is with how exactly is the list background and it's elements drawn and affected by settings:

These are my current settings for it - gamelist_coords = 246, 20, 372, 436

Apparently, the scrollbar gets drawn right after the width, but the height doesn't change the gamelist itself, and rather seems to reposition the image, if I set height to 100 it seems to only move the gamelist up.

I know I could use the background and make the images transparent, but I'd really like to set it properly, as well as have a list with more titles

Perhaps the best way would be to make the game list image and the gamelist itself independent objects, which would make things easier to set-up.

Second issue is font rendering, as it seems to anti-aliase fonts to black, so If I'm using say a light gray or white it look really ugly, could we get it to anti-aliase to background or optionally to white or the font color itself?

I'm also wondering exactly what items are stretched for 16:9, as for example the list background and fonts seem to be but not the buttons, perhaps it's just my eyes deceiving me!

One more thing - can we set up an image for no cover? or is it only embedded?

Hope you guys like the theme, I'll share it once it's finished and I either get past the issues, or just juggle a bit to go around some of them.

is the problem fixed with games that need the disc

That's not a problem with our loader, thats a problem with every loader (even the original by waninkoko). So no fix for this so far.

yeah this is the old tooltip function. these will be removed and replaced with a new
one. right now only the downloadcovers button has the new function on it.
 
thats not true....i play metroid 3 without prompting me about the dvd....on other way, ive got another console thats asks me for the dvd...so....maybe still missing install some cios in the other wii....dont know yet.
 
can please anyone help me out ?

I used the revision 245, and the Black Theme from : http://wii.spiffy360.com/themes/terrulin/black.jpg

My Config looks like this :

Code:
#godmode = 0 1 (default is 0. 0 means turn off godmode by default, 1 otherwise) 
godmode = 1

#unlock_code = ab121b (you can set whatever password you want as long as it is shorter than 19 characters)

#parentalcontrol = 0 1 2 3 (set game access level. Need to use with titles.txt. If the loader is in unlock mode, this would be turned off) 

#theme_path = SD:/config/theme/ (set the theme folder path. Remember to put '/' at the end of the path. If you are using 16:9, use wtheme_path instead) 
#theme_path = SD:/config/themes/black/

#wtheme_path = SD:/config/wtheme/ (set the theme folder path for 16:9. This option might be removed in the future)
wtheme_path = SD:/config/themes/black/

#widescreen = 0 1 (when set to 1, the loader would force 16:9 mode. When set to 0, the loader would force 4:3 mode)
widescreen = 0

But my wii isnt working in widescreen, when I use this config/theme. The Buttons on top of the screen, are cutted out

. How can I make my Theme to Widescreen ???

try it again because it works here. pm me if it still doesn't work for you.

Works fine now - must have been a temporary issue with Mediafire this morning (US EST). Thanks!

By haveing it set to 0 will force 4:3 so you need it set to 1. Did you try a different theme?
