Thanks to Mamesick for this version. It now boots up super fast and is my frontend of choice. Bravo.

Thanks to you for all the hard work d00d!

The results are beyond belief at the moment!

Props!

Also, thanks to the guys that keep the 64bit version alive.

Cheers,

Ralph.

I will try to compile an 64bit binary. Let's see if something is broken this time also, or not.

Love it

Thx to still be there...

If I had a few suggestions, well in fact just one...: Windows XP icons, and real alpha transparency, are still not well implemented, as in MAMEUI, unluckily... I think it's not your fault or jhonIV's but to the component used to display icons which is as old as MAMEUI birth... still no updates or any other better and newer listing component you could give a try...?

Anyway, thx for your build, again, love it.

I already looked at this issue when I tried to create a toolbar with alpha transparencies. Looks like it's a Windows API limitation/bug and a different approach should be taken. Now I'm away from home for a small holiday so I don't want to think to MAME/MAMEUI/MAMEUIFX...
Though it's on my to-do list for the near future.
If I may ask, why don't you design a fantastic FX splash screen for me? (24 BPP bitmap without transparencies due to the bug mentioned above....)
Cheers

Why have a splash screen? It's just one more thing to slow down start up.

So you can put boobies on it of course:

No No No if you're able to create two separate threads, one for the splash screen which is performed during the main program initialization and destroyed after the main Window is displayed.
