OK, I have taking on my first real project. I have gotten a few things working but have run int a few roadblocks as well. First I should say I am starting with the foundation skin (using 1080) and I am running a XBMC nightly build. I add the following control group to get a date and time on the screen:

Code:

        <control type="group">  <!-- Date bar -->
            <posy>774</posy>
            <control type="image">  <!-- Date bar Background -->
                <posx>0</posx>
                <width>1920</width>
                <height>26</height>
                <texture>time-bg.png</texture>
            </control>
            <control type="label">    <!-- Date bar Text-->
                <posx>0</posx>
                <width>1920</width>
                <height>26</height>
                <font>Home</font>
                <textcolor>HomeColor</textcolor>
                <align>right</align>
                <label>$INFO[System.Date] | $INFO[System.Time]</label>
            </control>
        </control>

With the code above I do not see the date or time on the screen. If I remove the "align" line then the text is on the left of the screen. I want it to align to the right hand side of the screen but am not sure how to get that to happen. I thought if I was building a 1080 skin that 1920 would be the right hand side of the screen.

Any help or suggestions would be great. I have also ran into a issue with aligning text in a horizontal scroll bar but I am still playing with that one and trying to figure it out on my own.

Thank in advance,
SoBBie

<align>right</align> in the label control places the label on the left of the <posx> point (i.e. it's right aligned against the given <posx> value).

You likely want to use <posx>r0</posx>.

THANKS!!!

Although it is 0r not r0 but at least you pointed me in the correct direction. I got it over on the correct side.
