Game Launcher Mala Layout
« on: May 04, 2007, 09:36:51 am »
Been searching for simple layouts, Game Launcher like, for Mala.  Has anyone created a layout that is simple like that for Mala that they could post to this thread?

PS I have seen all the layouts on Screenshot Archive and CPveiwer.

Hi I use the 'nice and simple' GameLauncher layout with MaLa. 
The font provided with that is slicker.ttf

I'm not sure what font you have in the pic?

Yeah the Gamelauncher like layout ended up being my choice after allot of soulsearching, less is more I feel...
I started using the actual game launcher and if it was as easy to set up as mala I would use it,  I like the feature where you can hit the spacebar and see just the screenshot, instead of with Mala you have to scrool through allot of different things with the info button to get the screenshot.

I think you will find you can remove the other info screens if you want and just leave the snap shot

with the layout. Can you replace the screenshots with video, and if video not available, use screenshots?

I mean you can have video on a layout but you can't have text on top of it. If that is a big deal try another FE  ;)

If you have a look on the MaLa Website there are many layouts that don't even have tect over still snapshots. You can put one of thoses layouts into the layout editor and subsitute the snapshot pane for a video pane. Then don't forget to set the path to videos in options-mame config-pictures and video and also enable videos in gui-options
