OK to be moor exact this is what it is doing after setting controls in AM

Configure/Controls  Previous Letter  "left"
Configure/Controls  Next Letter "right"

here is the comparison of both modules

new module letter skiping wrong
walks off...

old module letter skiping right
stays put....

Scripting / shuffle problem

« on: June 02, 2019, 01:57:26 PM »

im dealing with an ishu with the shuffle module...

when using the new shuffle, and letter skipping alphabet,,,   it is moving up & down
very undesirable.

so iv just taken the old shuffle module and named it "slotmate"
and add it in new theme so there is no conflict to the new shuffle.
ie: fe.load_module("slotmate");


the old shuffle module is working fine not moving..around like new one


any chance new shuffle can be fixed? in the latest shuffle module

iv tried to add vid of it but utube not uploading at the moment..hope this make scene

Scripting / Q: a bought, adding favorites

« on: May 20, 2019, 09:38:54 AM »

looking for some direction, on the easiest way to add "favorites "   into a theme

i have never had them in a theme before...  where say like selecting and un-selecting
with an icon that shows up,,,  thanks anyone..

ok i see their is an "add/remove favorite" under controls  to assign to key or button
but how is this linked to an image to show or hide?
