Fade label control

The fade label control is used for displaying multiple pieces of text in the same space in XBMC. You can choose the font, size, colour, location and contents of the text to be displayed. The first piece of information to display fades in over 50 frames, then scrolls off to the left. Once it is finished scrolling off screen, the second piece of information fades in and the process repeats.

Example

<xml>

 <control>
       <description>My First fadelabel</description>
       <type>fadelabel</type>
       <id>1</id>
       <posx>80</posx>
       <posy>60</posy>
       <width>250</width>
       <visible>true</visible>
       <scroll>false</scroll>
       <label>6</label>
       <info>MusicPlayer.Genre</info>
       <info>MusicPlayer.Artist</info>
       <info>MusicPlayer.Album</info>
       <info>MusicPlayer.Year</info>
       font14
       <textcolor>FFB2D4F5</textcolor>
 </control>

</xml>

Tag Descriptions

Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.

description	Only used to make things clear for the skinner. Not read by XBMC at all.
type	Specifies the control type
id	Specifies the control's id. The value this takes depends on the control type, and the window that you are using the control on. There are special control id's that must be present in each window. Any other controls that the skinner adds can be any id they like.
posx	Specifies where the left of the label should be drawn. This is offset from the window's coordinates (normally the left edge of the screen, or 0). In the case of <align>right</align> however, this specifies the right of the label.
posy	Specifies where the top edge of the label should be drawn. This is offset from the window's coordinates (normally the top edge of the screen, or 0).
width	Specifies the width that should be used to draw the label. If the text is longer than the label, then it will be truncated and will scroll.
visible	Specifies a condition as to when this control will be visible. Can be true, false, or a condition. See here for more information. Defaults to true.
animation	Specifies the animation to be run when the control enters a particular state. See here for more information.
label	Specifies the text which should be drawn. You should specify an entry from the strings.xml here, however you may also specify a piece of text yourself if you wish, though ofcourse it will not be localisable. You may also specify more than one piece of information here by using the $INFO and $LOCALIZE formats.
info	Specifies the information that should be presented. XBMC will auto-fill in this info in place of the <label>. See here for more information.
font	Specifies the font to use from the font.xml file.
textcolor	Specified the color the text should be, in hex AARRGGBB format.
shadowcolor	Specifies the color of the drop shadow on the text, in AARRGGBB format.
