Title: Show Letter when jumping to next...
Post by: justintime on October 10, 2024, 12:11:07 PM

Just like with hyperspin, I would like to have the Letter shown on screen when I jump to the next letter in the list...  A,B,C,D....   If I could display an image for the letter, better yet.

I dont see a transition parameter for jump next though.  So maybe this is not possible.  Any ideas?
