Hi Adrien,
This is an often requested feature. My thought is that you'd start in
the code that moves the timeline--add logic to NOT move the timeline
once the min or max displayed dates have been reached (depending on
the direction of the scroll). You'd also have to handle the special
case where the timeline from 1900-1940 (using your example) would NOT
fill the screen--in that case, the timeline would show, for example,
1900-1975. Or you could do something tricky where you'd show a neutral
grey (or something) beyond the 1900 and 1940 end points.
Thanks for your time on adding to the project!
Regards,
Larry
