Fade wheel on collection exit...
« on: September 19, 2021, 09:51:54 AM »
Is there anyway to fade the games wheel upon collection exit?
Im not running any cover art thoughout im just having one video that plays constantly,
so upon starting a new collection you get the last collection still there briefly. I know this isnt a biggy but i want to solve it...

I dont need to fade it becuase i can see it in the collections menu, i just mean the 2nd collection I select the last collections roms are still visible for a sec...

Ive tried onmeuenter/exit parameters with animate alpha to 0/1 (which compiles). But as each rom in the wheel has its own alpha setting im not sure how to get around it....

here is my code :
<menu menuIndex="1" type="custom" imageType="logo" orientation="vertical" width="480" height="240" scrollTime=".25"  minScrollTime=".06" scrollAcceleration=".04">
      <itemDefaults spacing="2" y="center" x="655" yOrigin="center" xOrigin="center" fontSize="35" width="260" maxHeight="120" layer="7"/>
            
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="-664" width="50" maxHeight="20" alpha="0"/>
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="-500" width="75" maxHeight="30" alpha="0.25"/>
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="-400" width="100" maxHeight="50" alpha="0.55"/>
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="-300" width="150" maxHeight="75" alpha="0.95"/>
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="-175" width="250" maxHeight="125" alpha="0.95"/>
      
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="0" layer="9" width="400" maxHeight="200" alpha="1" selected="true"/>
            
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="175" width="250" maxHeight="125" alpha="0.95"/>
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="300" width="150" maxHeight="75" alpha="0.95"/>
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="400" width="100" maxHeight="50" alpha="0.55"/>
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="500" width="75" maxHeight="30" alpha="0.25"/>
      <item xOffset="580" yOffset="664" width="50" maxHeight="20" alpha="0"/>
   </menu>


I know its not a biggy but thanks in advance... >:(

If you can send me a small zip file with the necessary files that shows the issue, or record a video that shows the issue, perhaps I can have a look. I most certainly will need your layout.xml file for it.

you will need to animate each item in the menu individually.
Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V are your friends here  :D
