Backdrop visible on hover
#1
Information 
I really wanted to figure this one out myself, but I give up. I'm very new at this and everything is confusing.

I'm modifying the Hitcher Alaska-skin and have succeeded in adding a custom shortcut "Party Mode" in the home menu. What I want is to have, on hover, a backdrop become visible in the background but only for my custom shortcut (the red button).

Below is a screen of how I want it to look.

Add a visibility tag to the backdrop like this -

<visible>Container(300).HasFocus(1)</visible>

The HasFocus number in brackets needs to be the same one you're using for the button.

Ohh thank you so much! It works now. One quick question though, what does the Container(300) do?

Container(300) is the wraplist of icons.

So in laymans terms: IconList.Object(1) is focused.

Haha, it's my "Party" button. The disco ball background is only visible when that button is in focus. ^^

@Hitcher: Any reason you aren't doing the listitem.icon/thumb trickery for this?
