I'd expect it to be fixed as follows: 1. There's a component that handles the scrolling (note that it must handle properly both skinned and non-skinned versions). 2. The content of the scrolling window is managed by a bitmap, probably stored in PNG format (that should make a good compression for such type of image). Bitmap allows us to show e.g. logos wherever applicable. Assigning to Peke. |

Some more reference Please. We shoiuld talk about this over IM. |
|
|
JvContentScroller component From http://jvcl.sourceforge.net/ do that job. |
|
|
Note: I'm hoping that this adds minimal size to the overall MM package. From my perspective, text scrolling is the only critical function. Graphical scrolling is a nice to have but not at the expense of bloat. |

I suggested PNG scrolling, because it should actually be easier to implement and would allow better looking result. In case Peke wouldn't have enough time for this, the issue could be assigned to Petr. |
|
|
I want this to be included in MM 3.x so that I can consolidate all thank-yous in a single location. My preference is that this be implemented via a scrolling text file so that there's no requirement to update png graphics for every release. Peke please comment whether this will be implemented or whether you'd prefer petr to. |
|
|
I'll assign to petr to investigate If routine to Scroll Title in Player Can be used in About Panel, if not simple timer that will scroll About panel could be easily made either by him or by me. |

I'd prefer that PNG scrolling because: 1. We don't update the scrolling part too often, definitely not every build, only when someone new should be credited, possibly every major release. 2. If we e.g. include MM logo, or some other logos, the whole result will be _much_ nicer. |

Fixed in previous build. |
