Riddle me this GameEX users...

(1/5) > >>

EnderWiggen22:
The FE is great (at least so it looks), but what would be the point of spending all this time and money to build an arcade and have the FE make you (and your friends) realize that it's just a computer. It completely destroys the user experience. I saw the video and it showed that you can change the background images, but it still has those very WINXP buttons and features.

Question: Has anyone created a "skin" for GameEX so that it doesn't look like Windows XP, but you still get to keep all of its great features OR is there a better FE for keeping the experience semi-authentic? (no one seemed to really use Game Launcher)...

youki:
What ever the FE you use, you can hide windows.

I guess some skin exists for GameEX less "windows" like.

But , correct me if i'm wrong,  GameEX is more a Media center than a Front End. As Media center it is doing more thing than a Gaming Dedicated Front end  , but on the other end the "gaming" part is may be less optimized  for a Cab.

If you don't care about the Media center feature and just want a game frontend. You have lot of other alternative.  (MameWah, Mala , Dk , AtomicFe ..etc)  (see the Wiki on this board for that. )

And of course, i suggest you to have a look to my FE. (AtomicFe)

That is completely wrong, and I thought you would know a bit more about GameEx than that considering how many Front End related threads you hijack to recommend your own.

You can turn every Media Center option off if you want to run it as a pure Front End. Personally I run it as a hybrid because I like the HTPC features on my cab.

There are plenty of themes for GameEx that completely hide it's tool bar and buttons etc. You can check out some of the themes at http://themes.gameex.net/. When you run the Setup Wizard of GameEx you can select which themes to download.

There is nothing wrong with recommending other FE's (including your own), I would just expect your knowledge of GameEx to be better considering the number of threads you post about Atomic. I guess you don't read what other people are posting because calling GameEx a Media Center application is ignorant to say the least.

Be proud of your own FE and recommend it all you wan't but telling people false information about other FE's just shows your lack of knowlege about other FE development going on.
