Marquis

A marquis is a scrolling text display box that displays information from one or more text display boxes. You do not need to add a marquis, but it can be very useful when you have detailed information you want to display to the user in a limited space.

The text in the marquis will scroll only if both of the following conditions are met:

The marquis section of the skin definition file must begin with this line:

[ Marquis ]

You then must add one or more lines that contain information about each of the marquis display boxes in your skin.

A typical line might be:

    3,2,234,20   Tahoma,12,N  255,0,0    Playlist, Time, Filename

You can use the following template for the marquis section of your skin definition file:

//  <Location>   <Font>       <Color>      <Text item combinations>
//  ----------   ------       -------      ------------------------

You must use the following order for information in each line of the marquis section. Each part of the line is required:

  1. Marquis Location
  2. Marquis Font
  3. Marquis Color
  4. Text Combinations
