Hi! The attached patch allows skinners to use masks in filmstripview, similar to the one in coverflow. See the attached screenshot. Only real "problem" atm is that any frame that is used is not masked. When I try to mask it the skinengine screws up. Maybe fixable? So...use Code (text): <showFrame>no</showFrame> in the facadeview. And use Code (text): <imageFolder>thumbnail_frame_shine.png</imageFolder> <imageFolderFocus>thumbnail_frame_shine.png</imageFolderFocus> to show a frame that is masked correctly.
And how about having this in thumbviews? We already can pseudo mask the thumbs but it would be better to have the same masks as in coverflow.
I have compiled a version with masked thumbnails, but it had severe sideeffects with scaling and weird placement of thumbs. I think it's a problem within the masking itself, and I contacted Andy to have him take a look at the code behind it.
No objections. I had trouble making a patch for thumbnails, but then Andy (ajp) fixed the viewport for thumbnails, and fixed filmstrip at the same time. I'm happy
