Is it possible to add a "row highlight" to the Main Menu?

I've tried using the code below, but it never appears.
Code:
<item>
   <type>rect</type>
   <relX>-3</relX>
   <relY>0</relY>
   <width>260</width>
   <height>15</height>
   <fillcolor>ff000000</fillcolor>
   <color>ff000000</color>
</item>

I've also tried adding a "showID" of 0, 1, and 2, but I would assume those aren't needed since the menu doesn't have a "showID".

Any advice? :?

You've encountered a bug ;-)
relY/relX are only working with a showid but it is not set. I'll fix this for 0.6.9 which will probably be released this week.

This still appears to be broken.

I tested it with the item snippet you had provided and it worked fine. Just add showID 1 to it.

I've tested this in the main menu and it works. However, the Game Manager and DiskCopy have the same problem.

The row highlights also do not work in the File Manager's sub-menus. If you try to add them to the Options or Directory menus, they appear in the upper-left corner of the screen instead of the relX and relY of which row is selected in the sub-menu.

Damn I really test it badly. Gamemanager and discopy have the same bug with no showID set internally and the file manager submenus got no coordinates. Not sure if I get this fixed before my vacation.

Don't beat yourself up over testing, that's what we're here for. Hopefully they'll be quick fixes. Keep up the good work!

Hope you have a GREAT vacation! :D

Ok fixed it for 0.7.0. Game manager and submenus of file manager were broken but diskcopy was working ;-)

I think I understand the basic concept of showIDs, but when should you add showID 1?
1. Do you add it whenever another item does not have a showID?
2. Can you change an item's showID if the other items that should display at the same time also have matching showIDs? Or does your code require the showID to remain unchanged?

Sorry if these are stupid questions, but I want to understand how these work. :oops:

I tried to explain it here: http://wiki.ws0.org/wakka.php?wakka=d2xskin&v=atw#h179-13

Ask if it's still not clear. In general you have to take the showID's which are in the default skin.

So if no items in the xml have a showID, do you add showId 1? For instance, in the viewer, the menu item does not have a showID, but the rect item that highlights the selected row has a showID of 1.

It isn't consistent. In the code the viewer has a showid of 1 but it isn't needed in the xml since it is the only "menu".
Maybe someone could add the valid showID's (taken from the default skin) to the wiki.

Hey WiSo,
The game menu in the Game Manager (showID=2222) has the same problem that the File Manger's submenus had. The row highlight appears in the upper-left corner of the screen instead of the relX and relY of which row is selected in the sub-menu.

Sure? Thought I've tested this. Ok I'll have a look.
