It's been a while since I looked into it but the skinning engine is probably at the point where the size might be able to be set dynamically by the user. In other words, if I get a chance I'll see if I can make it so the user can simply set the number of across and down to whatever they want and have it resize them accordingly. I'm not sure how plausible it is, but I'll look into it. It's the only way to make it so that we don't end up with a 6x7 a 3x4 an 8x3 and every other possibility requested.

Well I added the ability to select any number of rows (1 through 5).
However, I can't make it easily able to be ANY grid size just yet (the skinning engine still doesn't have the juice).

It works fine, but it will drop back to the Home screen after the change (there is no method I can find to just reload the current screen after the row change) and the selection method isn't the greatest (until I can use a customtoggle with values I can define and assign those to a string this is as good as it gets).

I also branched if from the current master so it can be merged easily (and used existing string variables).

Enjoy.

I also have a small request.

Can you add a "Large Poster Fixed" view type?

I like having large poster view type but not with the "Wrap" version.

I would like to use this for Movies.

Thanks MacGyver Smile


RE: [Feature Request] New Banner viewtype - andmc - 2015-07-04

I like the 3x5 view

I'll get to this as soon as I can (some personal issues I'm dealing with atm). But.. the 3x5 option will not stay -- the top part of the screen is reserved in Metropolis. 3x4 will be the maximum.

I can make anything, now getting it into Metropolis, that's not up to me. I'll do the work, sometimes just to have something to do when I'm home sick.

Was this ever added because I can only seem to do 3X2 for banner view in latest Metropolis?


RE: [Feature Request] New Banner viewtype - jingai - 2016-09-21

No, not yet. It's still hard-coded at 3x2.


RE: [Feature Request] New Banner viewtype - jingai - 2016-09-22

I got bored and did it.

You'll see it in 3.4.0.
