I'm trying to get this fadelabel to display both an image and info text on the same line... how can this be done? Below does not work...

<control type="fadelabel" id="70">
<include>timeformat</include>
<textcolor>60ffffff</textcolor>
<label>$INFO[System.Date] | $INFO[System.Time]</label>
<label>$IMAGE[Weather.Conditions] $INFO[Weather.Conditions] $INFO[Weather.Temperature]</label>

You can't.

So how can I do it "old school" to make the date/time cycle with the weather image/text info?

Or can you add a patch to make the new way work? (e.g. feature request)

[jmarshall]

You can maybe do it with a pulsed animation, with one of them offset using Control.IsVisible or a delay on it's anim.

Thanks for the help...

Pulse may work, but how do I 'pause' the invisible one while the other is visible?

my WIP:

Code:

Don't use a fadelabel. You don't want it scrolling, after all.

JM,
I'm not getting this to work. The Weather is showing but the date/time never does and nothing pulses. What needs to change?

thx

Your best bet is as follows:

1. Single pulse animation on one of the controls with an appropriate delay. Get this working correctly - I'm not sure whether the delay is applied in the pulse or not - this is something you need to test.

2. The second control is visible conditional on the first. No need for pulse on that one.
