Themes / Re: Tinkering with the grid script to replace hypertheme, side scrolling wheel
« on: October 26, 2014, 08:51:02 AM »
I just make a few tweaks to the grid layout to achieve some of the things I did with my hypertheme. There is much faster scrolling now that can still be tweaked but still far from perfect. Anyway, I still trying to figure what is possible with this script. I think a lot more can be done with it. No doubt checkist is already tearing into this script as well. But, here you go...

Well, you can definitely call other scripts with fe.do_nut(). You can also use tags for mapping input too. But, maybe Andrew can address that in better detail. Little tip, I map keys for next and previous list instead of left or right joystick so things don't get mucked up when scrolling.

« on: October 24, 2014, 05:25:02 AM »
Sorry, for the late reply. Looks like checkist got you hooked up. He actually gave me some pointers as well. So, feel free to use the script however you want. The hypertheme was a quick and dirty idea I was messing around with then I started on something similar to the grid. But, looks like Andrew has that worked out now with 1.4. Now with the fixes to orbit, that script could be used for a better hypertheme experience. The conveyor module looks promising for carts too. Keep up the good work.

« on: August 17, 2014, 08:43:10 AM »
Is there a way to make the listbox selection background transparent without setting listbox = visible ? Here is why, I would like to use a mask like in trimm for the selection of text. It gives you a nice effect when using a snap background instead of a solid color. Thanks...

I like your layout, especially the transitions. Good code for me to mangle.
