Two questions:
1) Does a Fadelabel have to scroll, or can it be made to crossfade its contents instead?
2) I want to create a Fadelabel where the text appears 10 pixels in from the edge of the screen, but then scrolls all the way back to 0 pixels during transitions. So far, I've been unable to do this: I can either have the text appearing at 0 pixels (not desired) and scrolling back to 0 pixels (desired), or appearing at 10 pixels (desired) and scrolling back to 10 pixels (leaving a gap - not desired). The textoffsetx command doesn't seem to work.

would the ability to add content to an rss feed, like you can with lists be useful?

Not to me personally - but the same thing can be done with the normal label controls, other than the colored text I guess.

Thanks for the advice. I did try fudging it by using blank spaces, but they were simply removed at runtime. I tried using as well (the old HTML days coming back to haunt me) but it just printed it out verbatim.
Is there another method for adding blank spaces?

Ok, weird.
In any case, I'll see what I can do with the initial pixel offset of the scrolling (it makes a lot of sense) and tie it in to <textoffsetx> in the fadelabel.
Give me a couple of days or so as I'm quite busy (old house -> renovation work) at the moment.
Cheers,
Jonathan

So by setting <textoffsetx> == <width> would it scroll like an RSS? That would be nice.

Effectively, yes.
Will see if I can knock something up later tonight, depending on how long it takes me to build a new ceiling and hook up the lighting etc. in the toilet :p

You light up your toilet? What do you want to see? or is that what they call the bathroom downunder?

The bathroom is surely the room with the bath in it. :p
We often have a separate room for the loo in these parts - useful if someone is using the bathroom to actually bathe. :p
I hear those Aussies still have them out down the back of the property...
Cheers,
