Horizontal filters wheel

[laurent1970]

Hello,

How to display the horizontal filter wheel (ALL/FAVOURITES at the top of the screen), in addition to the game selection wheel in a layout that does not have one ?

What code to put in the layout file ?

Thanks you !

Wheel is not a built in feature of AttractMode. Check included modules, modules posted on forum, or create your own! AttractMode is awesome due to its freedom with a scripting language. It also means that it isn't as easy as point and click or xml based front ends.

this "wheel" is present in the original layout but not in the one I use.

I don't know if it's really a wheel. It displays the list of filters using left and right keys/boutons.

I can't copy / paste the code because I don't know which one.

Filter Grid, Grid, Orbit and Reflect layouts use the conveyor module. If you do not know which original layout, then run attract-mode and try each layout. Then look at the source code.

The problem is that I don't know which code to copy from the layout that owns it.

In fact, it is this wheel that I would like to add in my layout.

If I go to the right or to the left the filters act and correctly display the list of games but the display of the name of the filter does not appear anywhere ...

I would like it to appear as in the attached image.

Thank you.

I found this code .... but if I copy it the name of the filters is still not displayed ... :

Read layouts.md, squirrel-lang docs, and start looking at your console log for error messages. Copy and paste works with me word, not programming- unless you understand the code and how to debug.

Some classes you are trying to use might be in a module that you do not have loaded, like animate. I can't do magic to read your log.
