So I've been playing around with Wir3d's empty skin learning the ropes and I'm having a slight bit of trouble getting the focused item to appear in a wraplist oriented horizontally. The rest of the gray unselected items appear, but the focused item is a blank space. When selected it functions properly and it takes you to where it points to, but it just doesn't visually show up. Any ideas why?

p.s. I migrated from the pal folder to a 720p folder and adjusted skin.xml so that's not the problem

Here's the code:

Code:
<window id="0">

    <defaultcontrol>300</defaultcontrol>

    <allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>

    <controls>

        <control type="wraplist" id="300">

            <onleft>1</onleft>

I'm not quite sure what I did to fix the problem, but in case someone comes across this same error here's a correctly implemented horizontal wraplist:

Code:
<!-- Main Menu -->

<control type="wraplist" id="300">

    <description>Home Wraplist</description>

    <posx>0</posx>

    <posy>250</posy>

    <visible>-</visible>

    <onup>300</onup>

    <ondown>300</ondown>

    <onleft>300</onleft>

    <onright>300</onright>

It was your color - ffffffff is white at 0% opacity i believe.

-nate

Nope, 00ffffff is white at 0% opacity. Nice try though.

One other (hopefully quick question). Is there any way to access another windows list from the Home window. For example if I would want to have a list of items from MyVideoLibrary on my home screen would I write something like:

Code:
<info>Window(MyVideoNav).Property(ListItem.Label)</info>

Code:
<info>MyVideoNav.ListItem.Label</info>

in a list like:

Code:
<control type="wraplist" id="303">

    <description>Quickselect Wraplist</description>

    <posx>0</posx>

    <posy>300</posy>

    <width>1280</width>

    <height>500</height>

    <orientation>horizontal</orientation>

    <onup>300</onup>                       <!-- To move between controls insert control id -->

    <ondown>303</ondown>

    <onleft>303</onleft>

    <onright>303</onright>

    <focusposition>0</focusposition>        <!-- Highlighted Item list position-->

    <scrolltime>200</scrolltime>

    <visible allowhiddenfocus="true">Control.HasFocus(303)</visible> 

                                           <!-- control id 303 is only visible when it is in focus-->

    <animation effect="fade" time="300">VisibleChange</animation>

    <!-- Unselected Items -->

    <itemlayout height="50" width="200">

        <control type="label">

            <posx>0</posx>

            <width>320</width>              <!-- can't have height defined in the block -->

            <info>MyVideoNav.ListItem.Label</info>     

            <scroll>false</scroll>          

            <align>center</align>

        </control>

    </itemlayout>

    <!-- Selected Item -->

    <focusedlayout height="50" width="200">

        <control type="label">

            <posx>0</posx>

            <width>320</width>

            <info>MyVideoNav.ListItem.Label</info>

            <font>Large</font>

            <textcolor>White</textcolor>

            <align>center</align>

        </control>

    </focusedlayout>

</control>

You can't.
