I find it odd that the main menu bar in Pause appears in the middle of the screen rather than higher up, as the space above is wasted and all the images and media is compressed into the lower half of the screen. Also very odd is the fact that there is a "vertical offset" option in the Pause main menu bar options, which can move the bar even lower, but I can't find how to move it higher. Is this possible?? Thanks!
How to change Pause menu bar vertical position
- Thread starter extracampine
- Start date
Yes I tried that - for example, vertical offset -200. I presume that negative values are not accepted (unless I am entering it wrong), as doing this does not change the bar position at all.
I tried with a space after the "-", like this: - 200, but then I get the "invalid integer number" error message.

Update - the bar did move to the top of the screen with the negative value. RL must have needed a restart for it to take effect. Problem is, the rest of the stuff - media etc - is still stuck in the bottom half of the screen.
Is there any way to get the media to move up/get bigger/fill more of the screen (without having to go into "fullscreen" viewing mode for the individual items)?

Just change the pause sub menu height on appearance options.
Brilliant, that made the media sub-menu bigger as I wanted. Funny thing regarding the vertical offset of the menu bar - it seems that I can go down to -199 fine, but as soon as I put in -200 it moves back to the middle again. Is -199 the "maximum" value for this?
With -299 or -300 the menu bar remains right in the middle still. I would like to get it higher than -199 if possible.
brolly, the bug is most probably on the shared.ahk file on the RiniLoadVar function.
This line will trigger wrongly as a read error for values like -2 or -220 or -3999,...
The best way to fix that is to most probably change the Rini error to something that does not uses numbers. Some decent string like for example: ERRORFILEMISSING, ERRORKEYMISSING and ERRORSECTIONMISSING instead of -10, -2 and -3.

Code:
If RegExMatch(globalValue,"-2|-3") ; if global ini key does not exist, create the keyThe best way to fix that is to most probably change the Rini error to something that does not uses numbers.

Yeah I know what it is I mentioned it before in the dev forum after spending a few hours trying to figure out a problem, I suggested exactly that already 
Problem is that djvj uses those error values in a lot of places of the code so it's not that simple and you can easily break stuff, I made a workaround for the user functions already (or something else not really sure anymore) not sure if we would be able to reuse it here though we'd need to look into it very carefully.
As I said before it was very silly for the dev to come up with such error codes on a library that reads arbitrary data from a file...

A problem which I have just noticed with raising the menu bar and increasing the size of the sub menu height; the video snaps are too big for the space; vertically things are OK but the right part (probably the right 1/5 of the video) is cropped off the screen. Is there a way to fix this?
The current code assumes that the video area is bigger on its width than its height.
If you stretch the submenu height too much, it is possible that the code will not properly resize the video in the contrary case.
When I have the time, I will change the code to take that possibility into account.
Meanwhile, you could simply increase the pause sub menu width a little bit. That way you would increase the video area on its width a little bit and compensate for the video height increase bug.
I did that, and it improves things a bit, but the video itself is too far to the right - there is a big gap between the video playback controls and the left side of the video. Also, the bottom 1/5 of the video is off the screen as well (despite me having increased the height of the sub-menu area; the video seems to have grown in height disproportionately).
I just kept increasing the margin figures for the video, and now have it showing the whole video (though the video itself is a bit too far down and to the right). Let me know once the height increase bug has been sorted.
Regarding screenshots, I've been struggling to do this as I am running RL on a Macbook via Bootcamp - so there is no screenshot button, and I haven't gotten the Mac screenshot shortcut to work. I tried using a third party screengrabber, but I can't activate it as Pause is fullscreen. Is there any way to run Pause in windowed mode so that I can get a screenshot?

Is it still not possible to raise the height of the main menu bar by more than "-199"? If I go to -200 then it seems to reset to the default position in the middle of the screen.
