Title: Horizontal system list.
Post by: lipebello on February 15, 2017, 05:28:05 AM

Hello,

I'm new on attract mode and i have been looking for some horizontal list layout like the emulationstation system select.
Is any layout or documentation that i can look to create my own?

Thanks in advance.

This whole page walks through the basics of the scripting language and creating a layout:

Just placing static elements horizontally on the layout is easy enough, by placing them in the positions you want them. If you want to have the items scroll or animated as I think you are talking about for EmulationStation - a bit more work needs to be done. I'd suggest you start by looking for a similar layout in the themes forum and see how they accomplished it. They might use the Conveyor module, or have done some custom animations on the objects.
