Any updates on a marquee carousel ?
-
@Zigurana anything new on the separation of the system carousel style?
-
Hi @Zigurana have you had anymore thoughts on this marquee carousel? or had any time to look further into it? I know the grid view is being developed as we speak but its not the same thing.

My thoughts are just to use the md_marquee tag for the carousel, the user can then decide what to put in the marquee folder, wheelart, boxart, screenshot etc. This way it is a separate entity and everything can be kept 'as-is' without jeopardising anybody's current setup.
Hope this helps and makes sense.
Personal build...
Those are collections on the carousel wheel, I'm thinking maybe the vertical_wheel on the gamelist view could look very similar.
@paffley is this a working ES theme? You have demonstrated exactly what I would love to do - get the gamelist with a carousel and the marquee images. Could you pretty please let me know how you did it ? :)

Here is what I was thinking
This would be a really nice use of a one line horizontal scrolling grid view :)

Hi, Those are collections on the carousel wheel that are on the system view currently on my personal build. Currently you cannot set the marquee's to work the same way in the gamelist view.

I agree completely, that's the kind of thing I was asking you about in the other post regarding the grid view.
Where the current screenshot is on the image above, have the video tag there also.

@paffley that actually is a video, can't show it through an image though

@lilbud Damn I thought it was just an ingame screenshot.

@lilbud thats brill thanks! The vertical wheel with the video and box art beside it is exactly what I was talking about to be compatible with the grid view :)

There is one thing I like on the wheel over the single line grid, it's that the selected game is always in the same place. With grid view, you move the selector.

@ectoone I'm always up to negotiate.
How many mock up of cool looking grid view using this feature are you ready to pay to see it coming ?

Very well said @EctoOne , this was one of the reasons why I asked if the marquee/gamelistview carousel was going back into development as it differs slightly to the Grid View.

I'll do a few over the weekend :)

@paffley same here

@paffley @lilbud I'm waiting for them ahahaha ;)
Joke appart, I just wanted to make it clear for future requests about the grid.
I'm always up to discuss, but the grid code is already complex enough, so any further development must have some good motivation behind it.
Basically, when you request a new feature, I estimate the 2 following points :
- How much complexity it add to the code
- How many use case/how often this will be used, and how much it improve the quality of the grid overall
If the answer is low for the first and high for the second, I will add it. Otherwise, you have to prove me that I underestimated the second point.
-
@paffley Thinking back of this, don't you also need a circular grid to do that ?
A one row, horizontal scrolling grid isn't enought. I guess you want that, when the last game is selected, the first game is displayed on its right.

Here's one, because I had some time while I was trying to repair my new phone...
