As you can see, it 'almost' works with any scenery or wallpaper a person wishes to use.

Once inserted it works perfectly. :)

Thank you

OK people...

Now Jorge has added a Menu feature at skinning level so the parent menu remains in the parent menu without jumping to the subMenu, I will progressively be adding in each them I have done and adding some of the more creative ones I did that I never uploaded now the menu's will remain intact.

This is not going to be a fast process. I have to add to each on the creation computer, test each, then re-compress each before uploading. With the exception of only two which are not mine in this screenshot, as you can see, it isn't going to be lightning fast. There are give or take one or two, around 100 themes or more.

I'll update progressively and they will be obvious as they will al have a tag
'Requires v26.9 or higher'

Respected BassdudeNZ! When I toggle "Show as disk fill indicator", half of the disk appears. I click "Rotate", the disk becomes full. Sincerely, Peter.

That's interesting it doesn't on mine - I will look at the settings. It won't be anything major. Stay tuned...

@ppetroff60

Thanks for drawing my attention to this. It is the identical issue you had with one of the music themes. My settings do not always show this so I have to look into the configuration details.
Sincerely thank you because I think every theme where I have done this will suffer from the same problem, most noticeably the Music themes.

I am making adjustments to close to 85 themes that I will be re-uploading. If you can live with it for around three weeks because I can only upload ten at a time per day, I will be reuploading with the new changes on almost every theme in the gallery, primarily all the ones with creative menus and standalone Disks.


I will also be uploading the other themes you requested because the menu stretching issue has been solved by Jorge. :) - Make sure you download the latest beta, 26.9 to see the changes when I do the uploads. It is a good chance Jorge might have done an official release by then too.
cheers

Jorge, it is The diskShowWidthH= setting and Height. I neglected to put in the dimensions when I added it, that simple. I have to go through a few. Apologies. it is on me. not major as I suspected.

Yeah, but... perhaps I am overworked, but I do not understand what that setting would be in native English (guess he is translating it to English back from a Russian translation of the original text)

I looked at the image remembering what I changed when he an identical issue with a music theme (which unfortunately means I have to go through all of them because they likely all have it)... When he rotates it.

You have done an amazing amount of work !! If there was a bowing emoticon I'd put it here.
Cut yourself some slack :) - You've done some amazing work in a ridiculously short period of time. Kudos doesn't say enough.
cheers

Here is a very quick example of what the ne new menu addition allows.
It is overkill on purpose, but it means the graphically complex menu will stay on its parent when you move the submenu as the image hopefully demonstrates.
I will probably put it back the way it was. There is enough happening on the desktop. I'll leave it for a few days before I decide for sure.

ALSO - with Jorge's addition of Monitor and graphic compatibility changes, the 200% menu scaling I tested, and it is really clean, especially noticeable with images created in higher resolutions.
Cheers

BassdudeNZ I like this menu! Please leave it in the topic! Jorge, I use the services of translators from Russian to English and back. Therefore, the correct translation is not always obtained. But as for checking the Russian language in the program for errors, it is 100% reliable! This is my Russian language! :D :) :lol:

Petroff60 to be clear, the on menu you already have, or the menu above?
