Hi Adam,

I also thought of that, but I did not understand enough of this skin business.
You are the skin expert :-)

At the moment my plan is to add a scrollable item
for all kinds of items that might need it.
I already have the recodings manager ready, but I do want to wait with the 
submit
until all other patches, that I already sent, are savely in the svn.
To much at a time brings confusion, as I realized ;-)

I also have the AudioItem on my to do list, for the lyrics plugin.

So, if you can do the refactoring, that would be great!
When I was thinking about that, I saw two problems.
1.) The eventhandler might be special to the item, e.g. as the programitem also
needs to answer to REC.
2.) The information one want to display might be different, e.g. plot 
description
in the VideoItem and ProgramItem and Lyrics in the AudioItem and who knows what 
else.
This might be solved, by putting the text constuction in the charge of the Item 
that
wants to use the scrollable description.
Moreover I wondered, if the skin.py file is really the right place for this 
scrollable stuff,
but as I said, I never understood that completly and therefor decide to touch 
it as less
as possible ;-)

Again, I really like this scrollable area, it is really a great improvement
and probably with time there will be more and more new additions which will use 
it.
Refactoring would be great!

Regards
Tanja
