Maybe bug: When I boot the Xbox from poweroff MXM seems to always use the default skin. If I reboot the Xbox using the xecuter bios controller reset method then MXM loads the correct skin that I set in the mxm.ini. I set the parameter Theme=Weavus in the mxm.ini file and have a directory called Weavus under the MXM dir. Is it just doing random skins, have I got the wrong setting or is it a bug?

                                    Sorry about that.... it ALWAYS loads random skins, if there is more than one skin available.

Yes, I need to add a parameter for this. Likely to be the "Skin" parameter.

"Theme" is intended to support other styles of menu display entirely... that's why I refer to "simple" vs. "complex" themes - both are 2-D themes. 3-D themes may be much less flexible.

Try xbins ftp

This ones a minor wish for the future.

Would it be possible to speed up the displaying of the title screen when you launch MXM?

Perhaps you could have an xbe that just loads the title screen and displays it and then launches another xbe which loads the menu system which obviously takes longer. Kind of like the loading screen when you launch an app in MXM.

I think it would make MXM more graphically slick.

Also, how about fading between screenshots/boxcovers etc....

                                    Hmmmm.... everything looks ok. The only time I've ever had a problem with lockups was with bad images, but that's been mostly cleared up, and if it displayed it before, there's no reason why it should display it on the way back 'up'

I'm running the video screenshots here, scrolling off and on again, without a problem.

Does this happen on EVERY item, or only on one specific item?

Any info would be greatly appreciated and who ever created this menux 9 .has done an excellant job. Keep up the great work. please e-mail or reply [email protected] [email protected]

                                    I just replied to you in the other thread....

the main problem is that there's an "alpha" channel, which makes for the neat transparency effects you can have for text and boxes in MXM. I've detailed a better explaination in the other response.

Hopefully simple request...

While 0.9b improved the menu by slowing it down slightly could I ask that you add two parameters to the ini file.

MoveDelay - Time between pressing down/up and the menu changing selections.
RepeatDelay - Time between holding down/up and the program repeating the move.

Also, another simple request...

Could you add a parameter to the ini file that allows you to have circular menus. I.E when you get to the bottom of the menu it goes to the top, and vice versa.

Can we also have a user defined 'not found' for screenshots/boxcovers. Might need one for each as I wouldnt want them scaled to fit.
