Hello there!
I'm currently working on a skin and the forum has been a great help, as I managed to repair many things using the information found here. This time though, I couldn't find a solution to my problem no matter what I tried, so I'm hoping someone with more experience and knowledge can help me.
I want to create a grouplist in SkinSettings.xml which holds custom settings, each with a set of subordinate settings only visible if the main setting is enabled. I'm posting two screenshots; maybe it makes more sense:
The hidden settings show up as expected when the visibility condition is met. My only problem is that when I scroll down the expanded list (with some of the hidden settings now shown) and I focus on a "subordinate" button, the list scrolls back to the top. This happens only when I focus on a button. If I scroll down the list carefully and focus on the thumbnail (in the second screenshot), the list doesn't scroll back up.
At first, the structure of my settings list was:
Thinking that there might be a conflict between the <pagecontrol> tags of the main list and the subordinate lists, I got rid of the subordinate lists and kept only the settings. So I changed the structure to:
but it didn't work...
Here's the code taken from SkinSettings.xml:
The <include>HomeMenuSettings</include> and <include>BackgroundsSettings</include>: (It's quite long, so I'm posting only a part of it, but the rest of it is similar)
Am I doing something wrong or what I want to do is impossible?
I have an alternative method to show those subordinate settings and I'll use that method if I can't fix this one, but I wanted to know if this should work as intended, because I really like the idea.
I'm sorry for the excessively long post...
Thank you in advance!

At first, the structure of my settings list was:
Code:
Grouplist
Setting 1 (radiobutton/togglebutton)
List of settings that are only visible when Setting 1 is enabled. (group/grouplist/list)[/list]
Setting 2 (radiobutton/togglebutton)
List of settings that are only visible when Setting 2 is enabled. (group/grouplist/list)[/list]
... and so on.Thinking that there might be a conflict between the <pagecontrol> tags of the main list and the subordinate lists, I got rid of the subordinate lists and kept only the settings. So I changed the structure to:
Code:
Grouplist
Main Setting 1
Subordinate Setting 1.1 - only visible when Setting 1 is enabled.
Subordinate Setting 1.2 - only visible when Setting 1 is enabled.
[...] Subordinate Setting 1.n - only visible when Setting 1 is enabled.
Main Setting 2
Subordinate Setting 2.1 - only visible when Setting 1 is enabled.
Subordinate Setting 2.2 - only visible when Setting 1 is enabled.
... and so on.Here's the code taken from SkinSettings.xml:
PHP Code:

Am I doing something wrong or what I want to do is impossible?
I have an alternative method to show those subordinate settings and I'll use that method if I can't fix this one, but I wanted to know if this should work as intended, because I really like the idea.
I'm sorry for the excessively long post...
Thank you in advance!
