2015-07-17 radiobutton, spincontrol and spincontrolex - disabled textures

please add the following textures to these controls:

radiobutton control:

• textureradioondisabled
  
• textureradiooffdisabled
  

spincontrol / spincontrolex:

• textureupdisabled
  
• texturedowndisabled
  

these textures are not optional, if absent no texture will be displayed if the button is in a disabled state.
easiest way would be to define them in defaults.xml

2015-08-02 radio button - label2
you can now use label2 to display the state of a radiobutton, instead of using an image for it.

for this to work, you need to define:

Code:

<radiowidth />
<radioheight />

by default, kodi will display the 'On' / 'Off' text in this case.
you can override this by adding a label2 to the button.

2015-08-04 spin and slider controls - mouse wheel scrolling change

This changes the way we're handling mouse wheel scrolling for spin and slider controls. Currently we're scrolling through the actual values whenever the pointer is in the hit rect of the given control. This commits changes it to just scroll when the actual spin or slider (not the entire button) is under the pointer.
