I like the idea of minimal code, ie scrolling content. Can the meters inherit the commands from a given content as the meter changes? Do you gain anything by doing it this way?
I'm currently looking at how the Starlord skin works as recommended by Rooky. I've removed the images and added shapes to replace background and the container. I've also changed font to remove any dependencies on anything exterior for the moment at least.
Well, I was thinking of using it on my Segoe Font Icon selector skin. But sort of having doubts which way is better, the current page set up, which I find annoying, or doing it with scroll. But, I either use the meters scroll or the content scroll.
Looking at the meters scroll, it means having a hundred meters, as it now stands.
Or, I use the content scroll, which may mean I need to adjust the mouse actions per content, or if generic, will mean I only specify twenty, so depending on the content, that's how they work and only one set of mouse actions per meter. I'm leaning towards this way, but it's hard to choose as I don't know what it takes to make either. Whereas, being far more advanced, I'm sure you can look at something like that and make a fairly accurate guess as to how best to approach it.
What do you think?
1. Stick to pages as it is now?
2. Go with the meters scrolling?
3. Or go with content scrolling?
I expect you'll say, it's my skin, do what you want, but I'm curious what your take would be.![;)]( "Wink")
EDIT:
Also would be really great if it could be dynamic, depending on the quantity of items in the list, as each of those skins has differing numbers in each list.
