Problem with basichome... (1 Viewer)

[who?]

Is it possible to have a set up similar to that of forfaraw43 (ie. the icons all in a row) but with additional icons "off" the screen. For example have 5 icons in total but with only 3 visible at any one time?

Hi

It sounds like the skin you are using is not the same as your screen resolution. There are skins that work only on a 16X9, and then there are skins that only work on 4X3...

Sorry for the slow response, I've been having terrible problems with my connection.

It doesn't really matter what the screen resolution is, what I mean is that instead of having all the icons visible when the home page loads, I'd like to have only some visible and the rest sliding in when needed.

I'll try and provide you with a screen shot as soon as possible and hopefully that'll make more sense...

It should theroetically be possible to write some code that moves an icon when it is focused/un focused I think you could make it work using a similar technique to the carosel (front row) style menu... I looked into doing this for foofaraw, but abandoned it after a few weeks work, as it was taking to long to work as I wanted it to..

Take a look at the basic home in xephyr, maybe thats what you are looking for. Basically it moves in new icons as you move left and right, so you have maybe 12 icons in basic home, but only 5 visible at any time. Tho there are no static icons on that menu, all of them are switched as you scroll sideways.

Thanks guys. Darre, I'll have a look at xephyr now...
