The panel container is one of several containers used to display items from file lists in various ways. The panel container is very flexible - it's essentially a multi-column list. The layout of the items is very flexible and is up to the skinner.
Example
<control type="panel" id="52"> <left>190</left> <top>100</top> <width>485</width> <height>425</height> <onleft>9000</onleft> <onright>60</onright> <onup>52</onup> <ondown>52</ondown> <scrolltime tween="sine" easing="out">200</scrolltime> <autoscroll>true</autoscroll> <viewtype label="536">icon</viewtype> <pagecontrol>60</pagecontrol> <include>contentpanelslide</include> <itemlayout height="150" width="120"> <control type="image"> <left>10</left> <top>10</top> <width>100</width> <height>100</height> <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</texture> </control> <control type="image"> <left>80</left> <top>75</top> <width>32</width> <height>32</height> <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Overlay]</texture> </control> <control type="label"> <left>0</left> <top>115</top> <width>110</width> <height>22</height> <font>font13</font> <selectedcolor>green</selectedcolor> <align>center</align> <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label> </control> </itemlayout> <focusedlayout height="150" width="120"> <control type="image"> <width>110</width> <height>110</height> <left>5</left> <top>5</top> <texture>folder-focus.png</texture> <animation effect="zoom" end="0,0,120,120" time="100">focus</animation> </control> <control type="image"> <left>10</left> <top>10</top> <width>100</width> <height>100</height> <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</texture> <animation effect="zoom" end="5,5,110,110" time="100">focus</animation> </control> <control type="image"> <left>80</left> <top>75</top> <width>32</width> <height>32</height> <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Overlay]</texture> <animation effect="slide" end="5,5" time="100">focus</animation> </control> <control type="label"> <left>0</left> <top>120</top> <width>110</width> <height>22</height> <font>font13</font> <selectedcolor>green</selectedcolor> <align>center</align> <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label> </control> </focusedlayout> </control>
Available tags
In addition to the Default Control Tags, the following tags are also available. Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as XML tags are case-sensitive.
Tag | Description |
---|---|
<viewtype label="">…</viewtype>
|
The type of view, valid values are: list , icon , wide , wrap , biglist , bigicon , bigwide , bigwrap , info and biginfo . The label attribute indicates the label that will be used in the "View As" control within the GUI. It is localizable via strings.po. This tag has no effect on the view itself, it is simply used by Kodi when switching skins to automatically select a view with a similar layout; skinners should try to set it to best describe the layout provided.
|
<orientation>…</orientation>
|
The orientation of the panel, defaults to vertical .
|
<pagecontrol>…</pagecontrol>
|
Used to set the id of the page control used to control that panel.
|
<scrolltime tween="" easing="">…</scrolltime>
|
The time (in ms) to scroll from one item to another, by default this is 200ms. The panel will scroll smoothly from one item to another as needed; set it to zero to disable the smooth scrolling. The scroll movement can be further adjusted by selecting one of the available tween methods. |
<itemlayout height="" width="">…</itemlayout>

|
<content>…</content>
