[QUOTE="pilehave, post: 666816, member: 71550"] Hi! I have crafted a small mod for MediaPortal to allow this: Show the first letter of #selectedindex as an independent label when scrolling. The label is only shown when you hold the up or down key down: [ATTACH]69610.vB[/ATTACH] This is a common feature in XBMC, where they use a property called "Container.Scrolling" that indicates if the user is scrolling.
