SlimmGBPVR - Blacked-out Menu Items.

JavaWiz · 2007-10-09, 07:44 PM

I've installed the most current version of SlimmGBPVR and functionally everything is working great. Unfortunately, for some reason, visually there is a problem with the main menu being 'blacked-out' except for the selected sub-item (see attached screen shot).

I've de-installed and re-installed with no affect.

Any ideas?

Well, I changed the menu colouring with the last release but it didn't make that difference on my machine. I've tried turning off my WindowBlinds and using only the Windows Classic theme but I don't get all black. How weird is that?

However, I can issue a release to undo this effect so leave it with me.

Don't know if this is a NW thing, but it's happening to me too!

At the risk of sounding thick, what's NW?

By the way, does it fix itself if you change the Windows theme, then change it back again? That is, from Classic to Luna to Classic or vice versa.

NW = NorthWest. Looks like drbenjamin lives a few miles from me in the states (Washington).

And no, changing the Windows Theme has no effect on the blacked out items.

I've uploaded a version of Slimm GB-PVR with the menu colouring restored to what it was before. As I could not reproduce the problem perhaps you can confirm that the menus appear properly now? Thanks.

Perfect. That fixed it for me. Thanks.

All good here too - thanks, MisterSlimm! FYI I am running an old P3 1 GHz machine w/ integrated intel i810 graphics ( serving MVPs, I don't use the machine to watch anything ).
