I've made several requests lately for my skin...and who knows if any of them will be granted, but here goes another. Something I think could come in useful (and I could definitely use it in the skin i'm working on right now) is the ability to group different multiimages together. So, for example, you could specify for the multiimagegroup that you want a <timepermultiimage> of say...30 seconds. So, you could start one with one multiimage that switches every 10 seconds, and loops. It would do this for 30 seconds and then move onto the next multiimage which might have a faster loop, changing image every tenth of a second. Get what I mean? Here's an example of what code might look like, just to explain my point better.
...and so on.
Code:
<control type="multiimagegroup">
<posx>140</posx>
<posy>300</posy>
<width>160</width>
<height>200</height>
<timepermultiimage>30000</timepermultiimage>
<loop>yes</loops>
<randomize>yes</randomize>
<fadeatend>2500</fadeatend>
<control type="multiimage">
<width>-4</width>
<height>20</height>
<timeperimage>10000</timeperimage>
<loop>yes</loops>
<imagepath>Multiimage 1</imagepath>
<randomize>yes</randomize>
<fadeatend>250</fadeatend>
</control>
<control type="multiimage">
<timeperimage>100</timeperimage>
<loop>yes</loops>
<imagepath>Multiimage 2</imagepath>
<randomize>no</randomize>
</control>
</control>
...and so on.
