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 type="fadelabel" id="1">
       <description>My First fadelabel</description>
       <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

In addition to the Default Control Tags the following tags are available. Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.

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, or a name from the colour theme.
shadowcolor Specifies the color of the drop shadow on the text, in AARRGGBB format, or a name from the colour theme.
angle Specifies the angle at which the text should be drawn, measured counter clockwise from the horizontal.
