Got any recomendations to better fonts? I was having a hard time finding a font that shrunk enough and was still clear when it displayed on the screen.

I'll think about the text colors some more...

The font originally (i think) was used in one of JLM's skins.

MXM Amp has good fonts too.

I havent spent much time looking for custom fonts, or making them.  I simply rely on the internal MXM font.  Its readable.

Are you trying to get more items than 5?

You should just be able to change  <NumItems>5</NumItems> to whatever number.

personal preference... make the selected item the one in the middle.  So for 5 items, the <SelPos>2</SelPos> (which is actually 3 since you start with 0)

The thing is, if scaling is set false for Y, NumItems doesn't really matter if you make it more than the space available.
So yeah, set scaling to True too.

From memory:
<Scaling X="False" Y="True" />
