Seperate containers

Skinning Questions, Suggestions and Ideas

Postby skryingbreath » September 27th, 2006, 8:53 am

Is it possible to have seperate 'containers' in which you can put additional buttons?

See, I want to make a skin with the main buttons (play, next, etc.) on the main window, then all the shuffle/pl/etc. buttons on a seperate window. I've thought of using a drawer like in the default skin, but I don't want it to act like that.

If I'm interpreting your question correctly - yes, it's totally possible. Do you want the different containers to be always visible, or just visible when Xion is active, or do you want to be able to use a button to control the visibility of the containers? I haven't tried it, but I believe the last option is a distinct possibility.

I want it to be toggle-able. As in, you hit a button and the container pops up.

You can set an id for the container you want to show, then use the modify(x) function with the action_show_layer keyword.

I've uploaded an example here: http://nderson.ca/misc/xion_container_example.psd
