Hello everyone, has anyone found the origin of the problem concerning the context menu of open Menu when using certain Custom themes (notably thanks to the excellent program RazorX ). There must be a transparency problem in the context menu in "Line Desc" mode, the colors set are not the right ones and the menu is very often unreadable. I have done several tests and I can't find the origin of the problem. Have a good weekend.

That being said, if you're using a VM2 and prefer to restore the original BIOS, it's very easy to do.

Thanks, I'm seeing the alternate BIOS as well when using a Nexus 4x VMU.

I'm going to try this out and see if it restores the original GUI.

Interesting about the Nexus...

But yeah, my patch absolutely should work.

Is anyone else having issues booting into OpenMenu with no VMU inserted, or is that just me? I assume it's probably related to the fact it has nowhere to save the config, but I tried GDMenu and that one starts just fine, albeit with the default settings...

this is due to the unstable version of KOS that I used to build openmenu

I'm creating a GUI tool to manage the openMenu DAT files.
For now it's stand alone but it will be merged into GDMenuCardManager.

Guys please help test it

Thank you for your great work!
But how can I have the access to your thread?

Thinking of a possible new ui for openMenu.
Huge overhaul, easier to write menus and better looking.

It will mean the gdmenu theme will be gone though

I, for one, would be thrilled!

I ported this and wrote renderers for dreamcast and psp, also a native desktop renderer too.

So it'll be this library doing the layout.

possibility of virtual folders? my folder tree is the only thing keeping my MODE in use at the moment and if Openmenu had that, goodbye MODE!
