FBA GUI Extras R6

*R6

- Updated 'sel.cpp', now ANSI build (Non-Unicode) compile fine, i did'nt notice in the other
  releases. UNICODE still working, so both builds are now doing well.

*This should be the Most stable and fuctional update, I have tested it several times using different build options and seems to have no problems compilating or anything (I have'nt tested with DEBUG but it should work fine)

Download the new most functional src here:

fba_src_029664_ex_R6_full.7z [~535KB]

EDIT* Link fixed

SeeYaa!

How do you install Japanese and Chinese on your computer so that final burn notices it as that font in FBA? Without a XP disc, mine is just a system restore disc that installs just the OS, not any other languages are allowed without a disk and I don't have one.....

[CaptainCPS]

Here I bring a good release of the FBA GUI Extras (I think this is the best release for now)

FBA GUI Extras R7

- Select Game dialog reloaded, and readjusted everything, now the Dialog will not resize and
  it will not matter as the previews will show just fine now.
- Updated sizes of the preview area now they have correct aspect ratio [Thanx to Treble for the advice]
- Cleaned and rewrote some functions and edited the following files:
  > sel.cpp
  > main.cpp
  > resource.h
  > app.rc
  > prevw.cpp
  > burner.h
  > scrn.cpp
  > menu.cpp

- ANSI build now will not be depending of 'UXTHEME.DLL' or using OwnerDraw buttons so compatibility
  with Win98 its done. UNICODE build will have all the UXTHEME support and OwnerDraw buttons.'

- Directories now are mostly like MAME32: 
  > Title Previews go -> 'titles/'
  > Ingame Previews go -> 'previews/'
  > Flyers go -> 'flyers/'

Some pics...

Very nice work   I hope you don't mind, but I have another small critique... The Icons for the 'Cancel' and 'PLAY!' buttons don't seem to fit right.  Maybe some different colors would help?
