Cannot move the Fields to Right Side..

[spandan888]

I want to move the Now Playing info over to the right side, in a center aligned manner.
Especially long titles should show the three dots...

I can make the info move to the right, but then the three dots disappear and the text is all over the place.


Ater a lot of trial and errors, i am still missing something.

This is part of the Big Clock Theater Mode...

here's the code.

can you help me?

Code

<element name="#NowPlaying" type="Block" xAnchor="Panel.Left" x="700" yAnchor="Panel.Bottom" y="-75" align="Middle.Left" widthDock="Panel.Width.0" width="0" heightDock="Panel.Width.43" height="0" bg="0,0,0,0" />

	<element type="Field" id="Title"  widthDock="x:#NowPlaying.0" width="0" yAnchor="#NowPlaying.5" y="5" align="center" font="Roboto Condensed" style="Regular" size="28" fg="240,240,240" mouseOverFg="200,255,200"></element>

Why not just use the existing #List block instead of creating a new block?

Code

<element type="Field" id="Title" xAnchor="#List.5" x="0" yAnchor="#List.52" y="0" align="center" widthDock="x:#List.95" font="Roboto Condensed" style="Regular" size="28" fg="240,240,240" mouseOverFg="200,255,200"></element>

You could do the same for the time element.

Thanks a lot!!
that was an exceedingly simple solution to something i spent a few hours over....

for those looking for the final product, you can get the theater mode from:

Looks like I omitted

width="0"

after widthDock attribute in the example code. It seems it's working fine for now without it (probably because the omitted value is zero) but the syntax is not correct anyway.
