Are you working on a viewtype, widgets or something else?
I'm sorry, but you have to get more detailed.
Can you provide us a screenshot?
RE: How do you do it - ztrust - 2014-07-04
Hey yes I am working on viewtypes and I do not have a screenshot to provide since the layout is in my head but this is roughly what I want to achieve
Code:
<control type="image">
<posx>20</posx>
<posy>20</posy>
<width>120</width>
<height>160</height>
<texture background="true">poster1</texture>
</control>
<control type="image">
<posx>30</posx>
<posy>55</posy>
<width>120</width>
<height>160</height>
<texture background="true">poster2</texture>
</control>RE: How do you do it - sualfred - 2014-07-04

RE: How do you do it - ztrust - 2014-07-04
right click open image in new tab works for me

Since container only have two item layouts (non focused and focused), you have to display poster/banner outside of that container.
You can use the info label "Container(xx).ListItemNoWrap(xx).xx" for this.
A good and clean example is the showcase view.
Just download the "Avalaon" Skin from the WIP board and take a look at the "View_51_Showcase.xml".
At the end of the xml file you will see the wraplist container, which has a blank item and focused layout area. He used conditions with "ListItemNoWrap" to display the focused and non focused items with a own position for each item.
In your case, it's the same workflow just with a different layout.
From the wiki (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=InfoLabels):
Container(id).ListItemNoWrap(offset).Property
-> Basically returns the same as ListItem(offset) but it won't wrap. That means if the last item of a list is focused, ListItemNoWrap(1) will be empty while ListItem(1) will return the first item of the list. Property has to be replaced with Label, Label2, Icon etc. ( eg: Container(50).ListitemNoWrap(1).Plot )

this sounds very confusing for now but thank you for the info will see if I can figure it out
RE: How do you do it - sualfred - 2014-07-04
Maybe you should start with small steps and create simple views and go for it when you are more practiced. It's not really complicated but I understand that it's confusing for beginners.
Step by step and after a while you can do this while you are sleeping
RE: How do you do it - ztrust - 2014-07-04
yeah you are right but I have made some simple views but ran in to the same problems again and again
I need some new problems as to not get to irretated But I do have one question I have been wanting to ask someone wich skin to use as a base Confluence or foundation.
Confluence is up date but have alot of (for newbies) complcated code
foundation is more of a blank canvas(wich is nice for newbies like me) but is not up to date
I would love to go with foundation but am worried about its not been updated to gotham and I do not know how hard it will be to do that myself?
would you mind keep checking back here from time to time I might have some idiotic questions from time to time, I keep reading the manual but I do have a limit how much I process without everything blurring together ;(
