Feature Request: Animate Meters

Post by ScottBeeson »

I'm totally rewriting a spotify skin I found, with quite a bit of success. However, I would love it if I could animate the entry/exit of the track and artist name. For example, slide in from left, or slide out to top, etc. Maybe fade in/out.

This is a popular request. We intend to do something about it at some point. Can't be more specific -- sorry :)

No, problem, thanks!

I'm really new to this, but is there a way to "hack" it currently? ie, set the meter to refresh every few hundred milliseconds and increment x?

If you can work out the mathematics, you could probably replicate it using a Lua script and some combination of !MoveMeter, !SetOption and a very low Update interval. It would not be very CPU-friendly, however.
