Themes are off center in the latest revisions. I only see the bottom right half of the image.

[lang=sv]Yup, specifically in revs 580, 581, 582 and 583[/lang]

You should not use:

width=-1
height=-1

Now, there is the explicit keyword "DIM_INF" to meant "max width/height".

Also, all images are now aligned by default, and scaled by default. That's why you had this off-screen placement.

You must now tell you want the image to be at pos 0,0 (default), not aligned (so the 0,0 position is the location of the top left corner), and probably not scaled (so it would not be shrinked when widescreen mode is enabled):

main1:
        type=StaticImage
        default=main_frames
        aligned=0
        scaled=0
        width=DIM_INF
        height=DIM_INF

You can now make the theme you wanted, using "scaled=0" for the frame layer, and it will work for both 4:3 and 16:9

@All

As the aligned mode for itemslist currently doesn't bring anything special, do you want it to be changed, so it would "center" each game name when active? Like this:

God of War
Ico
Alien Hominid
A very long game name

Would it be possible to have an option on justification? It may be useful for different themes if the themer could left/center/right justify the games list to suit his or her theme.

[hominem.te.esse]

That is somehow what I proposed, but with only 2 choice: left justified, or middle alignment.

I think I will do it anyway, as using "aligned=1" mode for the itemslist currently doesn't bring anything useful. If it would set the game names to middle alignment at the same time, that would at least better.

Do you mean all images were aligned and scaled by default, thats why there was off screen placement?

        scaled=0
        width=DIM_INF
        height=DIM_INF

Thanks for the info, I havn´t had time to even start the configuration file yet as I was away. Still not back home either yet so I have no idea whether the configuration in my head would of worked or not or the effect of the changes you have implemented. Would scalling of stretched the background image on a widescreen and messed up the overlay frame? So basically the screen of a widescreen tv will display the theme in 4:3 ratio as opposed to 16:9 to prevent distortion and garbage from unallocated pixels? I presume this is the case as I have not tested it at all yet...

Also welcome, I presume you are new to the community??
