Full Version: Rotated text in grouplist
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have some rotated text in a vertical grouplist and when scrolling up and down they get cut off incorrectly (i.e. as if they were not rotated).

These labels should describe the group or panel next to it. As i wish to add more then recent tv and movie.

So i was trying to think of a way around it. Like keeping the label in place and changing the string.
But how would i know which control is the top one visible?

Or is there a better way?
I gave it a spin and tried to build a grouplist with rotated labels on the side (kind of what I imagine You'd like to acheive give the pictures), and everything worked as supposed.

this is how I built it:

Code:
<grouplist vertical>
  <group (i.e. movies)>
    <rotated label>
    <list horizontal>
    </list>
  </group>
  <group (i.e. tvshows)>
    <rotated label>
    <list horizontal>
    </list>
  </group>
</grouplist>

hope that makes sense, and is of help.
And you are not getting these problems i marked in this image?

I have a skin with groups that started messing on the 9th too. Do you find major differences based on the screen size? Mine change completely when I go full screen, almost like the 1280x720 base is getting lost.

nope.

any chance I can peek @ your code?
Sure, probably easiest to grab this repo:

You need:

Home.xml id="4000"
Includes_Metroid.xml
EDIT: Slowed everything down and actually you're right. the labels are computed before rotation.
