Mamewah: How can you increase the Font size
« on: February 09, 2006, 07:27:38 am »
I am interested in having MameWah use BIG fonts for the game listings.  How can this be done?

Open the layout designer, load the layout you want to use. Select the gameslist field and then select text properties from the toolbar. You can change the font size, style and colour from there.
I didn't touch it....honest!

Ahh ..... I am currently using Mamewah1.62b9 which does not come with a layout designer.   If the released version of Mamewahv1.61 has a layout designer, then can I use this one to set everything up how I like?  I heard v1.62 had a bunch of changes, so I am not sure whether I should use a layout designer from v1.61 ..... what do you think?

In all honesty I don't know mate. I haven't tried the new version as V1.61 does everything I need it to so didn't really feel the need to upgrade it.

Can't see any reason why the designer shouldn't work with the new version though as the layouts are basically the same. Prob not released with the current build as its still in beta.

Perhaps create your layouts and .lay files using the designer from 1.61 and then drop em straight into your config folder in 1.62, gotta be worth trying it out.

You should be able to use 1.61's layout designer and then use your layout with 1.62b without any problems...thats what I am doing.
