Broken in skin mode

Post by abuli »

After updating to 4.0.7.1511 mediamonkey is broken. I have reinstalled but with no luck. It kind of works with windows theme. Dialogue boxes misses texts and/or are on top of each other.

That is mm 3's default skin, you need to turn off options for areo skins i believe that will fix that error, but i dont know for sure because i didnt turn that off and i get different errors using mm3 skins in mm4 on xp. So it might just need you to restart mm4 while using this skin? :-?

No you turn off the areo setting in mm some how, i thought you wanted that mm3 skin, if so then mm lookslike it cant use areo settings for that skin, thats what the mm3 skins do they mess up some different ways but they still work for the most part, i thought you had xp you didnt say what you have, and the image tag should work? But not if you didnt scan the songs in to the database,. Since i know you got win 7 you will have to ask one of the others or wait til they answer you here.

Thank you for your effort and time. And sorry I did not make it clear.
I use win 7 64 bit. And it is not a option to turn of aero in mm as far as I know.

@ abuli

I don't know if i can help ,
But just to clarify,
This is a updated MM4 Skin you use and just works fine on my Win 7 and 8,
Areo can just turn off or on in the Settings .ini file ,but i believe this would not help you.
I'm just wondering how you could select 3 items on left side option tree?

Did you try another skin ?
Do you use a Windows Theme Patcher ?

Selecting 3 skins are apart of the bug. No skins work. and I use a custom win 7 theme

That's the problem, skinned MM does not like anything other than default Windows themes.

You will have to use unskinned version if you want to use a custom windows theme.
