Title: Text Scrolling On Item Positional Menus
Post by: Jezz_X on November 06, 2005, 01:34:00 PM

Ok Ive been trying to update my PM3 skin buy adding the buttons on the menu.
This has had the side effect of shortening the menus a little but I was trying to compensate by making them scroll if the text is too big but I can not get it to work at all.  
This is what I have now but it wont scroll i have also tried putting scroll="1" and others straight into the itempos part but no go.  Has any one got it working at all??

CODE

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Segoe
  

Also for the people who read this this is the small

list of changes so far
*changed highlight color in all things that get highlighted
*made the background a slide show like current pm3 xbmc skin (see the difference in the three screen shots below)
*Added buttons next to menu tabs (though highlite dosn't work UnleashX can't do it)

things I was planning on doing
*redoing the whole media player part to look like the OSD in XBMC not quite sure on how to lay it out though but I have a plan

ScreenShots

For those of you kind enough to read what I wrote and try and solve my problem I will add some screen shots of what I'm trying to achive with the media player.  This is just a Photoshop mock up though.   But it shouldn't be to hard to convert it out to a real player skin I hope the first is the default popup the second is with the added playlist

Ok heres a more complete version because it looks funny be laid over the main window so it will need a background once angain its from PM3 default music image

Note its not really that dark it just looks it because of the supload white background
