Cheers!

(The widgets use a 'panel' control, which doesn't support auto-scrolling. It would probably make sense to switch the mixed widget to a wraplist in any case, which does support autoscroll, but then the focusedlayout for each artwork choice needs to be adjusted, as in a list control it's used for the current item, whether or not the control itself is focused.) I'm happy to make the changes, if @Mr. V has no objections...?

Regarding the background of the panel widget info - there actually is a background there already, but it doesn't darken the fanart much. Not something I want to touch at this point, though, as I don't know what the options Mr. V is working on are, and whether they'll affect this or not

The ones that do that I tested are Random and Recommended Episodes, but Recent Episodes and Next Episodes do not. The ones that do have that info on the first line of the info panel or dialog, and the show name on the second line. The ones that do not have the show name on both lines.

label= title >>> i get just the TV SHOW name (the blacklist for example) instead of the EPISODE name (3x9 the director) ( like the problem we had in the beginning )

ive checked my playlist twice ( set as category "episodes" ) and also test default "series" Options instead of my playlist

when i choose:
label= panel >>> i get the episode number and name (3x9 the director)

i get this on recent added, recommended, random... well on all "local files"
on next aired i get the date and episode number and name ( maybe it took the info from next aired addon )

(2016-01-08, 20:38)BobCratchett Wrote: I think these are both the same issue (the var feeding this info starts with the tv show title followed by a carriage return, meaning - when the tv show title is present as a separate info label in a short label control - that's all that's seen. Pushed a fix to it, but haven't extensively tested if that var is used elsewhere (somewhere where the carriage return is necessary...)

(2016-01-08, 20:47)schimi2k Wrote: because of the stroke we can try something we used in some views too i think... ( just add the same text in black and 2px bigger behind the foreground text i think ) ... or we should think about a dark field between the text and the widget maybe...
its just cosmetic ... something for a future "tweaking" maybe

ATM I am updating every control in every container for all the views. I found some issues with the zoom animations and now need to make separate controls for each case. Very time consuming task.

For the labels I am changing there appearance. As people have mention they don't stand out well enough or hard to read with certain artwork. In the future they will be a single line label that scrolls on focus.

Any thoughts on this change?
