Hi is it possible for me to extend the single title/label line to two lines? About 90% of my screen names have titles up to 30 characters long and because the title/label is on one line, I have to make the text really small for it to fit. Having two line title/label would really help. Also to Kittsy, will there be any plans to add a 2nd line description to the plugin? This would solve my problem. If the above is doable, please can you tell me how, baring in mind I am not a strong coder. Regards Dragon Title Comments Hi is it possible for me to extend the single title/label line to two lines?

Highlight the label you will see options for number of lines, how text is aligned what color similar to a text editor. There are som many ways a label can be changed it wouldn't be feasible to have it all attached to the control panel. I am already working on an update that makes more customisable changes to the carousel, it could be the equivalent of about 3 A4 pages long Comments That sort of thing can be altered directly in interface builder where you found the shadowing.

It is awesome and gives my app a very professional looking menu. I would be interested in hearing more about the extra class files to help manipulate the ui labels. I felt that the default label font and text color didn't match how nice the buttons looked in the iCarousel, so I turned them off and added my button text to the actual images I used for the iCarousel buttons. This looks good on my main screen, but I plan to use the iCarousel on a couple of sub menus that I will probably need to keep the label text, so making it look better will be very helpful.

But I would be interested just to see if I could change anything. Comments Steady on Kittsy! I need to learn to crawl let alone walk.
