Hello Friends I am trying to modify The Titan BETA skin. I posted some questions and a feature request on the Titan page but am not getting any answers thought I would include you guys see if you can help me come up with a code tweak. What I want to do is create a fixed focus for all widgets on the home page. I have the widgets set to fixed focus to keep the highlighted tile all the way to the left is it possible to have the focused tile fixed to to top row when there are multiple widgets on the home page as well this is how Netflix behaves it has 2 rows the highlighted tile stays stationary on the first tile on the top row. The lower row just moves up to the top row when pushing down and so on and so forth. It's a minor difference but trying to set it up to work as close as possible to the Android Tv version of Netflix. I'm not a coder but can fumble my way through the files and change or add code as instructed so any help from the pros would be much appreciated thanks.

Can anyone at least point me in the right direction what folder to look in and what line in the code to modify? I really am a novice and this is a bit overwhelming searching through all the lines of code. It's a feature I really want though and am determined to make it work some how.

This must be in the 17 skin as I have heavily modded titan from 16 and transferred to 17.. so it's just in the settings within skinsetting you didn't alter the xml

If you are tweaking the actual code, you could find the control group for the widgets, then you could create animations with conditions to slide the widgets when they are focused.

Thank you I hope that helps someone find and write the code tweak but for me I really don't understand what that means and even if I could find that line I wouldn't know what to change it to without exact instructions. I wish I could learn Python but it's hard to teach this old dog new tricks. It's like another language or worse like math with formulas and values and whatnot I'm trying to learn little by little and going into the code and making these spoon fed tweaks help but I'm nowhere near to the point of going in and experimenting without breaking something. I'm still hoping someone takes pity on me and says add this line here or change this line to that.
edit*** After googling animations I think I understand what it is and the behavior is already written into the code somewhere because when you scroll down and get to the bottom widget on the home page and continue scrolling down the next widget slides up into view I'm guessing that is the animation. There has to be a way of bypassing or disabling the action of the focused selection tile moving down between the widgets in view and just have it default to the sliding up animation instead?
