Title: Mala Background Music, Stop/Play Button???
Post by: Chunce DeLeone on May 04, 2007, 09:35:10 am

I am using Mala with Background music playing on startup.  I want to assign a button to stop the music without having to rightclick and go into the options.  Does anyone know how to assign a play and stop button?

You can via a Plug-in if you want  ;)

The only other thing is in options-gui-gamestart you can have the music stop while playing games

Yeah I have that option,  what I'm looking for is a toggle for the music when I am going through the game lists, sometimes I like to listen to the mp3's sometimes I dont

IIRC you can turn the music on/off from the menu under the sound option. Steve

I think you will find he wants to assign a button to it raher than go through options  ;)

You can set 'Next Song' but not Stop or play without using a Plug-in
