Any ideas?  I can't seem to find that option.  The font is just a little too big for my liking.  I can barely see the snaps in the background behind the game list.

Also - is there a way to scroll through the main list of games faster?  In Gamelauncher you could hit Left or Right to scroll through an entire screen and if you hold it down you can really move up and down the list quite fast.

THANKS!!

  • This is better than Disney Land man!
If you are talking about resizing the font in the Mala Layout, you need to go to the MalaLayout.exe program under the main Mala directory.  Then click on "file", "open" and then navigate to the *.mll file that contains the image you use for your layout.  Double click on the box that contains the text that you want to re-size and a window will open up.  This will allow you to edit the size and type of font you want.  You can even set it up to change the positioning of your text.  You can also edit how many lines of text you want displayed at a time.
You can even re size the snap images here too by dragging the edge of the outline on the snap area to the size you want.  Once you are done save your work.  Always make a backup copy of the original before editing.  That way you can go back the beginning and start over again if you need to.
Hope this helps.
Cheer's.

Galaga... Was there any other game?

Thanks - that was a huge help!  Is there a way to scroll through the games faster?  The "All Games" list takes forever to get through...

There are multiple options for scrolling:
- You can scroll by letter, Page or a set number of games in the list
- Have a look in the controller tab, I think by default holding the ctrl key down will skip things

But if you are just talking about general speed have a look at the attached screen then take items off the exception list and reduce display delay

Also consider making your own custom list using the editor to keep you Fav's in so you don't have to go to the master list all the time.
