new GameEx themes
« on: February 23, 2005, 06:19:19 pm »
Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know I've created a couple of themes for GameEx.  It's a great FE but since I'm running it in a cab and not  w/ Windows MCE I wanted more of an arcade look.





You can download GameEx at http://www.gameex.net. The themes can be found on the the GameEx group in Yahoo Groups (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/GameEx/)

Enjoy,
Rob

I'm using Gameex at the moment and I have to say it is the easiest to use frontend I've ever come across. Not to mention I am also using pavlov's red theme. Thanks a bunch man, they look fantastic.
I had to beat them to death with their own shoes...

I have to admit that GameEx has come a long way and I am nearly ready to switch one of my cabs over to using it. I like the themes  from this post, but seem to be having issues working out why trackball support doesn't seem to work with these themes.

The new features in GameEx are great. It's nice having the functionality of CPVIEWER built right into a FE

Glad you like them.

I made 2 versions of each theme color, Arcade and MCE. For the Arcade versions I forced GameEx into Arcade mode which disables the mouse cursor. Try using the MCE version. It still looks the pretty much the same except the mouse and  MCE toolbar are enabled. You can go into GameEx config and tweak things around a bit more, like autohiding the toolbar, etc.

Does this help?

Nice theme, any chance of sharing it? If so and you need it hosted, I could handle that for you.

Thanks

Tom is a top bloke and listens to alot of requests, and adds alot of requests. Donate to remove the nag screen, it's worth it. Plus you support future development of GameEx.

Agreed, when I first tried GameEx it was version 1.4 something now he's almost up to six. It's atleast one upgrade a week.

I think Tom did a big overhall that caused pavlov's older themes not to work.

all of the good themes get rolled into future revisions of the FE. They may be in the base install.

There's a sticky at the top of the page for User Submitted Themes & Media. They should all be there. Saw your first post in the GameEx forums Gary, welcome!
