RE Nav Slider:
Is there a way to find out, or set the spacing of the letters
when you click on page-up/page-down, etc.? For example, if
you wanted a larger nav slider gadget, with larger letters,
and obviously a larger "bubble" or square box, etc. as a
"pointer", how or where would you find the values that
define these? The background for the slider is "etched"
on the page screen, so out comes Photoshop... But what
about the graduations of the letters and their spacing?
If you change the length of the slider gadget in skintool,
will that change the spacing between the letters (and how
can we then find out what it is or measure it) - or is
there some numeric definition in one of the ini files? Or
is that baked-in (hard-coded) and you need to keep the
existing slider dimensions?

Question 2... Is there a way to put a slider control option
on the skintool dropdown for the Genre screen, in addition
to jump-to-letter? Is there an ini somewhere that can
enable/disable that feature, or is it "baked-in"?

Question 3... I have seen some skins that have two nav
arrow buttons: one seems to scroll one-by-one, the other
advances full pages. Is this feature only available on
some pages/screens? What or where would it be enabled?

Question 4... Does the in file structure have a "reserved"
character (like ';' in C) to indicate the start of a
comment? It would be helpful to know which ini entries
do what, etc. By some experimentation, I have found
things like theme, font size/color (on some), x/y
position etc. If there only was a line-by-line list
at least so we could amend the existing ini's with
comments that define what that particular entry/value
does. Would go a long way to fully utilize the
incredible flexibility built in the program.

Thanks...
