Navigation by alpha

[Dazz]

Hey Bill,

I'd like to see a way to navigate the wheel by alpha character...

Perhaps this could be done rather simply. Allow us to add a break in their database .xml file that identifies the start of one group. For example:

<game name=***A***>
<game name="asteroid">
<game name=***B***>
<game name="btime">
<game name..... etc

This would allow us to set where we want the break at. If these lines don't appear in the .xml then the feature is disabled.

Simply add two new assignable buttons; one to move up by alpha and one to move down by alpha. Have HS then move up or down to the next *** line in the xml when the button is pressed. Wheel images could be named A.png, B.png and so on...

Ok, sounds like a good idea.

Oh yea... Make it an option to show the header (A.png, B.png. etc) images on the wheel. People might want the functionality to move down to the next letter, but might not want the letter images on the wheel.

[BadBoyBill]

ok, we'll have to get some wheel images together for that.

I think that this is a really good idea, have you also thought about maybe adding an option for frames for the wheel to better seperate the titles of the games. Like a standard (for lack of a better term oval, rectangle maybe???) frame that would surround each title.

I am not all that sharp at this but at least in theory it seems to me it might look cool.
