couple of ? about skinning


1) Is it posable to have a seperate placement for video and one for the xbe thumbs if so how because the thumbs apear where ever the video does

2) Is there any way to have animated news feeds that scroll through the news feed

If you are talking about the thumbs icons for the games then yes.  You have to edit the positions in the menu.xml like........ l=25 t=38 w=131 h=87.  The vid is the same way.

question 2.........dont know, sorry.

1) Yes it is But its a little tricky, I was able to manage this in both the skins I made .
Here is the code I Used For doing just that.  of course you can change the position to put the thumbnail anywhere you want.

CODE

0x50FF0033               0     1     True     0     False     9          Blank    0    left          Blank    0    left

I essentially made another Menu list but made the text invisible so you would only see the thumbnail, you will have to add the blan.xpr also, That is the invisible font

here is the font added to the resources

CODE

Blank.xpr

PM me with you e-mail if you want me to sent you the font
or if you have the "Its about choice" or BlobBox Skins its there , Check the BlobBox Preview Pic  at Axs to see the Example where I put the Thumbnail.

2.)As for now there is no easy way to do it, I would say wait a little bit Im sure
BJ is working on something like that

I think he want the Thubnails by themselves somewere in the skin

Anyone correct me if Im wrong but i thought you could only alight Left Or right
the icons from the Menu items,  

If thats not the case Ignore my Previous Post  

Then I made my skin more complex than it had to
