lja 51 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Try all of the different backdrop options in the 4:3 section of the chocolate config. I'm pretty sure WMC is reporting your screen as non-widescreen since it isn't at least 1.78:1. When I forced WMC into 4:3 mode I was able to make the backdrop work properly by fiddling with those options Tried all the options in 4:3 section of chocolate config. No change. Why did it work in v: 3.0.2.11?
ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 3.0.2.11 was a long, long, time ago - before I added all of the new functionality. A whole lot has changed so I'm not positive what has affected this but it is limited to odd screen resolutions obviously.
lja 51 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 I also have it working on a PC with 3.0.3.1 with no changes to the monitor resolution.
ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Can you please try installing 3.0.3.2 and then 3.0.3.3 and see at which version the problem occurs? I suspect it will be 3.0.3.2 and it is somehow related to the addition of the tool tip on the button bug. No, actually, it may be the implementation of the larger poster on the List view. That makes more sense.

ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Start the configurator, Plugins->More Plugins Select "Show all Versions" install the indicated version.
ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 But still, I can make the backdrop go under the list if I force my WMC window to 4:3 but as soon as I tell Chocolate to "Fit" the backdrop - it works fine: How do you have your monitor setup in WMC settings? Maybe changing those options will force it to work properly.
lja 51 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 I tried the 4:3 setting in MC but that made no difference for me. By the way the 3.0.3.1 is working in MB Classic 117. To try 3.0.3.2 on the PC that has MBClassic 122. Do I have to revert to 117?
ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 On the machine that works in list view, do you still get the weird display in the config page (with the top and bottom items squished and not where they should be)?
lja 51 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 On the machine that works in list view, do you still get the weird display in the config page (with the top and bottom items squished and not where they should be)? I will check this out. However I tried 3.0.3.1. It worked. Then did not see 3.0.3.2 listed and tried 3.0.3.3 which did not work.

ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 The screen is the same as previously shown. Okay, so that means that WMC is just having trouble laying things out on your odd resolution. Since I cannot reproduce the problem I can't fix it and I don't want to back off any of the changes that were made because they work well in normal situations. So, I've added an option under the list view to show a background under the list. It won't fix the backdrop but it will make it so that you can see the items in the list. Please download this version of Chocolate and ensure that it works for you. Thanks.
lja 51 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Installed. No luck. The screen flashes with the correct appearance but then shows with the unreadable text.
tbeaux 3 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Same Problem and banner on top of logo in tv, 3.0.3.1 works fine
lja 51 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) You turned on the option? Which Option? Theme Backgound? If this - Yes. Edited February 6, 2014 by lja
ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Which Option? Theme Backgound? If this - Yes. No, the new Show List Background option...

They now appear larger.
ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 The poster in that particular view was made larger a few revs ago by request. They were way too small before.
lja 51 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 The poster in that particular view was made larger a few revs ago by request. They were way too small before. OK. A long name goes over the poster. Is that intended? Will post image if required.
lja 51 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) @ebr: I think I will revert to v3.0.3.1 as this version works. Will keep checking for new versions in case they work. Thanks. Edited February 7, 2014 by lja
ebr 16169 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 OK. A long name goes over the poster. Is that intended? Will post image if required. Now I remember why the poster was smaller
lja 51 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 Now I remember why the poster was smaller Can this be resolved?
