On the Main Menu screen use the Options button on your remote. (Or escape on the keyboard or right-click the mouse.) Scroll down to Menu type and cick on MCE. It shoudl now say Sage. (MCE is the default choice of SageMC) I'll fix it by the weekend.

You could try to open the STV file in a text editor and remove all occurences of

 <BackgroundComponent>false</BackgroundComponent>

and

 <AutoRepeatAction>false</AutoRepeatAction>

Can't guarantee you that this will work, but you might want to give it a shot.

Worked like a charm! It loaded and I don't see any ill effects. Thanks Dirk!

Hi Switching to the "sage" style menu rather than MCE worked for me too, appearance is now like the screenshots. Thanks

Hopefully you can roll the changes from SageMC 6.2 into the Retro theme .

Gerry. Nice work on this. Just found it today. I need to scan the forums a bit more, instead of just checking my UserCP all the time!

Any chance this could be an import similar to the iTV theme? I just think it would be easier on you in the long run, so that you don't have to keep up with Dirk.

Look forward to trying it out.

Thanks. I've been struggling with how to handle the updates. That's why I'm holding out a bit longer before I decide to do something. That and I'm working on another one.

I feel kind of stupid asking this but what plugin do I use to have access to my library of dvd's and ts files?

Love this theme. Thanks.

Also any idea why I have big blue box in the bottom left hand corner that says STOPPED? Sorry I am new to this program.

Because your video is stopped. Play a recording and you'll see the video in the small screen.

None. Define a video directory where you store your DVDs or your ts files. Also read the Sage manual. This programs does what Sage does-it's just s theme.

Had any headway with any updates? As of rigth now, I"m running the 33 version on my main PC, but using the theme graphics & stuff with the newer version of SageMC (it works but of course the main menu doesn't look quite right ).

Since flachbar came out with SageMC 6.30 I am currently working to make it function with that. Just having some thoughts on how best to incorporate all the new stuff.
