Hello all,

I apologize in advance for the noob question, I am a WIP skinner stil.  I am migrating the Amber skin to Leia, and have come across the issue of trying to have a list control for the list view have different widths and start at a different x position depending on content.  Initially the code had two list controls with the same ID and different width and posx, with visibility condition for the content type.  This did not work, and only the first list control was being shown (when its visibility conditions were met) and the second list control was not shown.

I am trying the following code, but it doesn't work either, the list always has the first width defined and at the first posx defined:

            <control type="list" id="50">
                <viewtype label="$LOCALIZE[535]">list</viewtype>
                <posx condition="![Container.content(addons) | Container.Content(albums) | Container.Content(artists) | Container.Content(episodes) | Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(musicvideos) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(sets) | Container.Content(tvshows)]">555</posx>                
                <posx condition="[Container.content(addons) | Container.Content(albums) | Container.Content(artists) | Container.Content(episodes) | Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(musicvideos) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(sets) | Container.Content(tvshows)]">1250</posx>
                <posy>351</posy>
                <width condition="![Container.content(addons) | Container.Content(albums) | Container.Content(artists) | Container.Content(episodes) | Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(musicvideos) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(sets) | Container.Content(tvshows)]">1365</width>
                <width condition="[Container.content(addons) | Container.Content(albums) | Container.Content(artists) | Container.Content(episodes) | Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(musicvideos) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(sets) | Container.Content(tvshows)]">640</width>                
                <height>700</height>
                <pagecontrol>60</pagecontrol>
                <onleft>9000</onleft>
                <onright>60</onright>
                <onup>50</onup>
                <ondown>50</ondown>
                <preloaditems>4</preloaditems>
                <include content="View_50_List"></include>
            </control>

I would really appreciate any help in how to accomplish this.  Thanks.

you can use params or 

then place it on top of the default like this:

this however will only change on window reload. so it depends on your needs.
to change it on-demand you can only use different item/focusedlayout width and heights.

</itemlayout>

Thanks! I will see if I can make it work the way you describe.

@cartman.dos , I followed your advice with multiple item/focusedlayouts, and now I got it working.  Thanks again!
