Theme not updating when entering system

[ghost]

The joystick is also not updating to the blue one although I have the mame.ini file in settings folder.

swf artwork with blue stick is system SpecialA.

if you have Mame\Images\Special\SpecialAxxx.swf you need to disable default.

[Special Art A]
default=false     <- don't use default artwork from main menu
active=true

I have the Mame\Images\Special\SpecialAxxx.swf files and this is my mame.ini in the pcca/settings folder:

[sounds]
game_sounds=true
wheel_click=true

[themes]
animate_out_default=false
reload_backgrounds=false
bezels_on_top=true
crt_scanline=false

[pointer]
x=976
y=385
animated=true
fade=false

[wheel]
alpha=0.40
speed=high
fade_time=0.5
slots=12

[Special Art A]
default=false
active=true
x=0
y=0
in=2.2
out=.5
length =  3
delay=0
type=bounce
start=bottom

[Special Art B]
default=true
active=true
x=0
y=0
in=3.2
out=1.5
length=5
delay=0
type=fade
start=none

It shows the correct joystick if I change something in the theme options after I enter the system theme. For example, I change the value of wheel fade time, when I return to the mame theme it has the blue jotstick.

Maybe the code is not reading the mame.ini when you first enter it?

Oh for christ sake it's my stupid attract.cfg file. Issue closed!
