subtitle textdisplaying after title text

[JR866Gunner]

currently got the "description" text underneath the main title text and when I try to work out how to get the text to show in the same way the default does the description disappears with any kind of editing done to it.

Basically the description text is really small and when i make it larger it doesnt show completly so i came up with the idea, if the text is alongside one another theres room to make the description text bigger

ideas people? im stumped! lol

Currently the text displays like this with the description underneath the title text (ie Dennis bergkamp at top and manager walsall underneath)

I want the text to display like this;

The file you need to edit is the titlebar.xml file, I assume you are using the Neue2 skin if so these are the changes you need to make.

Locate this load of code:

- Red Code needs deleting

- Green Code needs adding

- Black Code needs editing (replace the current value in the file with the below values).

After you have done that the coding should appear on the same line, though you may need to mess around with the inset values to get the text lined up vertically with the flag and logos.

The problem is at the end of the file you need to cut the container text in red and copy it to the end (green):

<attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="subt" set_property="text"/>

</widget>

</container>

</container>

<!-- right sided main logo -->

<container id="RsLg">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />

<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="horizontal" offset="30" layout_children="true"/>

<!-- Primary Logo -->

<widget class="picture" id="rftF" scale_picture="true"

keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="56" width="56" image_alignment="centre">

<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="vertical" offset="0"/>

<attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="scpc" set_property="file" skip_if_null="false"/>

</widget>

</container>

</container>

</panel>

So the coding near the end of the file should look like this:

<attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="subt" set_property="text"/>

</widget>

</container>

<!-- right sided main logo -->

<container id="RsLg">

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />

<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="horizontal" offset="30" layout_children="true"/>

<!-- Primary Logo -->

<widget class="picture" id="rftF" scale_picture="true"

keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="56" width="56" image_alignment="centre">

<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="vertical" offset="0"/>

<attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="scpc" set_property="file" skip_if_null="false"/>

</widget>

</container>

</container>

</panel>

That will sort out the position of the logos, to sort out the vertical position of the text you'll need to change the inset values you added from my previous post to something else, you'll just need to try different values until you get something that looks right to you.

Did the trick!! Thank you very much michael, can always rely on your advice!
