Mamewah problem with options menu
« on: November 27, 2008, 11:02:32 pm »
I am running the current version of mamewah. When I select the options menu the background image does not appear. I can see an faint outline of where it should be and the options themselves are there, but also so faint they cant be read. This theme worked before upgrading to the current version. I attempted to use the layout editor to see if I could make it work and I can see the image there but no joy even after I resave the layout.lay.

Open the Layout Editor.
View> Options Form
Background> Opacity
Set to 0 or 255 (I don't remeber)

I just knew it was going to be simple and not a problem with the application, but a problem with the application actuator!!! :P


Thanks Gonzo. Makes perfect sense.

I was unwittingly expressing that the image was completely opaque. I adjusted the options display  to have an Opacity setting of 255 (the Max). It was originally set to 15. With a setting of 255 the image and options are now present. So 0 = completely Opaque and 255 = none.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

You should look up the meaning of "opaque"

255 is opaque, meaning not at all transparent.

HAHAHA!
The Gigantic leap I took was think I knew what Opaque meant!! Thanks Ginsu Victim for pointing that out. I was 180 out from what it really meant.  :dizzy:
