[FRONTEND] EmuLoader 6.5.3

EmuLoader version 6.5.3 change log - May 27, 2012

Fixed

• Rename/delete images was never possible, unless the main menu "Images" was accessed first
• Rename/delete images with popup menu was not working while in layouts view mode
• Minor UI bugs
• Quiting the frontend in full screen mode. After restart EL and disable full screen mode, main window state was not restored correctly
• Images panel visible when restarting EL in thumbnails view mode
• Feature "center image splitters" was not working correctly for some layouts (image layouts view)
• Buttons / checkboxes / radiogroups components disappear when pressing the ALT key (Windows themes support is buggy in Delphi 7 for some components)
• Game selection's alpha blend setting was always disabled on restart
• Panels in "Image Layout Settings" screen were not being correctly shown/hidden (visual bug only)
• Splash screen's texts frame not moving along with splash screen while dragging it
• Several UI bugs in MAME settings screen, including tooltips
• Changed
• Main menu bar is gone. All options are now in the first button at the main tool bar buttons. Can also be hidden
• Modified my splitter component to accept a single color, a popup menu... and more goodies
• Splitters in main screen set to "Office 2007 Luna" style by default. Customizable at preferences screen, "General" page
• Replaced all top/bottom bars by my new TPanelEx component with vista grandient styles (external image files no longer needed)
• Moved Daphne settings from preferences screen to its own config screen and added new settings. A new file is created: "emulator_inidaphne_el.ini"
• Moved "imagesmsgbox_icons" folder to "resourcesmain_iconsmsgbox_icons" and converted into .ico files

Improved

• Dual gradient selection bar visually improved (menus / popup menus)
• Preferences screen make-up. Sections separated by pages
• New hint control to mimic Windows 7 hints/tooltips (games list has its own custom hint, it cannot be changed)
• More code cleanups and optimizations
• Replaced all checkboxes, radiogroups and groupboxes by my new custom components. Custom label colors and shadow texts
• Removed
• Select random game feature on main tool bar buttons is gone. This feature never worked right while filters are enabled
• The following files are no longer needed (all from "resourcesimages" folder):
• "msgbox_bottom.png", "msgbox_bottom_border_left.png", "msgbox_bottom_border_right.png", "checkbox_on.png", "checkbox_off.png", "msgbox_top.png", "systembk_top.png", "textbar.png", "textbar2.png"

Added

• New settings for "Image Layouts View"
• - "Show Splitter Grip Icon" -> toggle on/off grip dots in splitter (images popup menu)... enabled by default
• - "Customize Splitters" -> customize splitters appearance (images popup menu, preferences screen / "Images" section)
• - "Splitter Style" -> fixed gradient colors, "single color" style can be customized (preferences screen / "Images" section)
• - "Center This Splitter" -> center only one splitter on a image layouts view (mouse right-click directly on the splitter)
• - "Enable Layout Dimensions" -> show a window with the size of each image panel (in pixels), for extreme fine-tuning (images popup menu)
• Option "Category / Layout Settings" added in images popup menu for quicker access
• New setting for main tool bar filters: "Bound To Games Panel". Check this option to limit the tool bar to the games list panel. This will increase the size of the images panel even more (menu "View" / "Tool Bar" and in "Customize Tool Bar" screen
• NOTE: if the games panel is too short, use the small tool bar buttons or increase the games panel width by using the splitter
• New setting: "Show Image Border" (enabled by default). Show a 7 pixels border around the image panel (images popup menu)
