Hey community, need some help.

 

I just updated the pinup popper theme to T-ARC for landscape Cabinets.  Everything appeared to install correctly.  I then modified my display adapter settings to enable full transparency for all three of my monitors, setting color to full and resolution to nVidia control with Full color to 255.  Added a loading screen to a game with a T-ARC transparent image, all good other than there is some bleed through the standard loading wheel bar.

 

Then after I started playing some pinball, which is really the point of this hobby - right!  I noticed my fullDMD backgrounds were not appearing.  Went into popper to ensure all my configuration settings were set to active for the fullDMD, and they are correct.  Ran the tool to set the display positions, and the fullDMD is appearing on the correct monitor.  Launched pinup popper, and still no fullDMD backgrounds.

 

Thoughts on what to do next?  I did a full backup of my folders, so I can go back - except everything else appears to be working.

 

Thanks for the help.

I am having the same issue.  Did you ever find a fix for this?  I add media as per the major frenchy youtube tutorial on Full DMD underlays, but nothing appears.

I found the fix:

 

After installing the theme on the list of Screens in the setep. number 5 has been renamed to Menu and turned off by default. previously this was called FullDMD. change that back and turn it on and your good to go @popcorndog and @gravitygroove

Thanks for the post. My Topper and FullDMD was not showing anymore after I installed the T-Arc Theme Option from Nailbuster and Terry Red.

As Justin1987 suggested:

Open pup-pack editor, load your PuP-Pack "PinUpMenu"

Select "show" Topper

Select "show" or "ForceBack" Menu. 

 

Now everything is showing again like it was before I loaded the "InstallTheme.bat" file
