how can i achieve that every item (about 10 or so) in an horizontal wraplist looks different?
using <visible> tags in <itemlayout> and <focusedlayout> doesn't seem to work, or i couldn't figure out the correct condition...
and leaving <itemlayout> and <focusedlayout> blank and putting everything into the <content> part also doesn't seem to work...

any ideas on that?

If you have your own content with items, you can do this. Add

<property name="1">1</property>

to every item, second item name="2", third 3 and so on. In itemlayout & focusedlayout do:

Code:

<control type="group">
   <visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.property(1))</visible>
   <!-- Add layout for first item here -->
</control>
<control type="group">
   <visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.property(2))</visible>
   <!-- Add layout for second item here -->
</control>
[...]

If you want to have different layout width or height for every item, I don't think that would be possible.

A grouplist would work for that.

ok... this is my current test drive skin to try things out before coding something undoable through xbmc...

there are two horizontal wraplists (one with font and one with those colored placeholders); the upper wraplist controls the one below (and perhaps later also the background sliding left or right if i can manage that) because of the smooth scroll handling; the placeholders should be filled with items (vertical lists or a panelcontainer);
atm the problem is that i couldn't manage to fill the lower wraplist with those placeholders in the matter that every item looks different... i can make one for focused and one for unfocused, but i like to have special ones for music, system, pictures and so on... (changed the code in focusedlayout for every screen)

Ok, thats the way i can put content in. i guess it would also be possible to put a list in there? or a panel?
those slim panels should be filled by vertical lists and the wide panels with icons through a panel...

but the problem i have now, is that i couldn't manage those placeholder images to display correctly.
each item of the wraplist is as wide as the screen and these placeholders are in a group...

my suggestion would be:

Code:

...
<itemlayout>
[INDENT]<item id="1">
...(placeholder group for first item)
</item>
<item id="2">
...(placeholder group for second item)
</item>
...
[/INDENT]
</itemlayout>
<focusedlayout>
[INDENT]...(in this case the same as itemlayout)[/INDENT]
</focusedlayout>
<content>
[INDENT]<item id="1">
<control type="list">
...
</control>
<control type="panel">
...
</control>[/INDENT]
</content>

is something like that doable? do i have to put these lists also in the <itemlayout> section?

hope you all can see what i'm talking about and what i want to achieve

If I we're doing this I'd probably just build each one as a separate group with different sized buttons.
