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">

            <ondown>1</ondown>
            <onleft>1</onleft>
            <onright>1</onright>
            
            <focusposition>0</focusposition> <!-- Highlighted Item list position-->
            <scrolltime>200</scrolltime>
            
            <!-- Unselected Items -->

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>
    <focusposition>3</focusposition>         <!-- Highlighted Item list position-->
    <scrolltime>200</scrolltime>

    <!-- Unselected Items -->

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>

or

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.
