SOLVED --// Groovy Arcade Marquee Size and Spacing? Any Ideas?
« on: February 10, 2014, 08:50:08 am »
So what are my options to get the Marquee's to fill the screen. Do I need to resize them all in Photoshop or can I set some scaling options?

UPdate changing the size in Photoshop / Gimp (keeping the aspect ratio the same) does nothing, they stay the same size.

Just alot of empty black space...

Not sure if I understand. Do you want the marquees to fill the screen in Advmenu+? I think you can change the view by pressing the space bar. Maybe you need to treat them as normal snapshots... not sure.

Calamity,

thank you for the reply.

I want to change the scale so that there is not so much black space on the screen.

I don't think you can do that without modifying the source code.

Calamity is correct. Use a different frontend.

This is from my Virtual Groovy arcade that I use to test and config. Or what I use to waste time at work so that I can spend my time at home playing games.
When I get time tonight I'll upload a real pic from the Cocktail GA cab.

Here are some of the Marquee's I am making for the menu. These are for ones that don't exist.
