Script for abbreviation of current display name.

[Wenzon]

I'm trying to develop a theme but I'm not good at programming. Would someone help me with a script that abbreviated the name of the display I'm using?

Example: Capcom Play System III for CPSIII.

Thank you all and sorry for my English.

        }

fe.add_transition_callback( this, "on_transition" );

The script worked but did not show the name of the display I'm using.

In the figure below the display is Capcom Play System III and its script presented the abbreviation of ATOMISWAVE ("ATOM").

I struggled to see if I could run the script correctly but I did not master the programming language. Now in editing of image I dominate a little bit. 

qqplayer's script is almost that. If you can help me, I'll be very grateful.

Sorry I forgot a to paste the most important part.

Code: [Select]

fe.add_transition_callback( this, "on_transition" );

function on_transition( ttype, var, ttime )
{

//Update filter highlight
                for ( local i = 0; i < ui_underline.len(); i++ )

                    ui_underline[i].visible = false;
                    ui_underline[fe.list.display_index].visible = true;

}
