So... a search of the forums didn't yield any thread regarding this (hard to believe)... so either its something obvious I'm missing, or there's a workaround I've just not yet thought of... here it is:
I'm working on a layout (snes) where when you scroll up and down, instead of the rom names, you see their boxart. I've finally got the boxes to pretty much go where I want them except for one thing - I want to make the box for the "selected" rom wider (to take up the space on the layout for it). I can't seem to find out how to do this. I see the "selected height" adjustment, but not the width... what am I missing?
Please guide this blind beggar.... much thanks in advance!
P.s. I thought maybe I had to put a "marquee" or something else adjustable there and have it be ontop of (z-order) the list, maybe this could work as a patch job for now?

stretch to fit should do it, maybe

The problem though is that I only want the "selected" rom to be wider than the rest. Stretching to fit would increase all the other ones if I made the width wider too wouldn't it?
-
yes it would, i see your dilemma now, with text you can use bigger text for selected but not with image list, might need to be a source update for malalayout

Yeah, I think so as well. The workaround that I mentioned above works great though. I didn't actually need the "marquee" (although I suppose you could do it with any of the objects) for the SNES layout, so I just put the marquee above the "gamelist" in the z-order and now when I scroll down the boxes, the "selected" one is bigger via the marquee and the other image is just hidden conveniently behind it - thanks for the help though dung!
I just wanted to post that it works in case anyone else has a similar problem when they need to increase the width of the "selected" rom. I guess this will be a good temp fix until the source gets updated! :)
