overlap in list view... skinning or skin engine issue? (1 Viewer)

[2BitSculptor]

On titles with long name and long name artist labels there is considerable overlap, and also, titles with long names overlapping the track duration labels

Is there a setting to adjust the width of the fadetext for each of the labels (left and right aligned)... maybe a percentage setting(?) so the text can be kept separate for each label? Or can I turn off the right aligned text to put in a label elsewere?

or is this just the way it is.....

Thanks,

Chuck

I don't understand the question fully.. Are you asking for a way to make the listview narrower so It doesnt overlap track duration(in music)?

What skin is this on textXOff (i think) is the offset of the secondary text in a list, adjusting the width of the list adjusts the width of the name.

Here are the two examples.

All I know is that it is unreadable when two long labels overlap, or the Title label runs over the duration.. That is why I wanted to put the info elsewhere (mentioned in another post)

What about a visibility toggle to #selecteditem2 (keeping the data available), or Is there a 2 line option for the list buttons With Item 1 on the first line and item 2 in smaller text on the second?

Thanks

Can you post the xml file so i can have a quick look at it?

The skin is a mod I'm doing based on Catavolt's PureVision.

I only changed the colors and font size (I can't read font11 on my TV) in his references.xml file, and adjusted size and placement of the listcontrol in the common.facade.music.xml. Nothing fancy.

It is an issue that is in all the skins I've tried when it comes to displaying the long labels in a narrow space. (4:3 skin)

Here is the bit of the references.xml I changed. I could send the other xmls, but they aren't really out of the ordinary.

<textXoff2>400 moved the right justify point of text2 400 pixels to the left, did nothing for the overlap.
Changing the width didn't help (it controls the total width of the combined icon, focus/nofocus texture, text and text2 unit)

Thanks, though, for looking into it.


I could offset text2 720 pixels to move it out of sight... it might work for my settup...

If there were only a way to separate the Track label into 2 lines.... with an adjustment for label length.

> Track#. Trackname
> ______ Trackartist ..............................................................................Duration

(just dreaming....)
