[QUOTE="catavolt, post: 1209993, member: 54906"] I explained already that the "actiongroup" is different from the standard groups: "actiongroup" is the [I][B]container [/B][/I]for the buttons shown in a hidden menu. "actiongroup" itself only hosts the image (marker) showing that a hidden menu is available (the blue arrow in the middle left of the screen) as well as important properties such as the id of the first button in the button group, the ID of the control to return to when the actiongroup is closed (mainly ID 50 for a list) etc. Therefore "actiongroup" MUST NOT have any animation, because the marker image is static. and due to this reason also no animations may be inherited. Hope I explained it this time understandable. The background image for the button group should have the same animation like the button group itself to show a homogenious sliding. PLS NOTE: This image is not necessary - if a skinner decides to show his menus without background - that´s OK and even may have it´s own grace ;) The only "real" group is the buttons group holding all the menu buttons and an adequate animation. Again: animation is not necessary - leave it w/o animation and the menu will just pop up - another design possibility for skinners who want to design skins further the "normal" appearance ;) Hope I explained it clear enough today ;) No need to discuss this further and further and..... :D [/QUOTE]
