Is there something like a horizontal ListControl for skinning?

i'm trying to do something similar to the xbmc v11 confluence skin main menu (horizontal), which seems to be a pain to do without such a control :)

Thanks

    Nope, there is no such control. There are hacks which most of the skins use but which require tons of (button, image) controls, animations and visibility conditions.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    I agree about the dash instead of colon on the LIVE thing. I did a little change to get the current program, just removed the D from the tags. Not that important, so I dont upload any new file. A little sad about the end time, but nothing to do about it.
