How do I create a grid screen like NPR?
http://sdrv.ms/1cX2BkW

I tried this:
screen = createObject("roGridScreen")
screen.setDescriptionVisible(false)
screen.SetGridStyle("two-row-flat-landscape-custom")

The description callout still shows and I'm not seeing item titles (I'm assuming that these are titles in the content metadata).

Thanks in advance for your help!

You need to call SetDescriptionVisible later in your code (at least after SetGridStyle, possibly later). As for the data under the thumbnails, that's defined by the ShortDescriptionLine1 and ShortDescriptionLine2 metadata attributes on your content.

Thanks, that worked!

One more Q - if I pick "zoom-to-fill" as the display mode, portrait photos seem to get tiled (i.e. appear more than once).

Is that a known bug?

Thanks!

I don't know if it's known or not, but it's been around forever (I know it's been reported, but I don't know if Roku has ever acknowledged it). Several of the different grid styles flake out if you use certain display modes.

What's the theme attribute of the grid ShortDescriptionLine1 and ShortDescriptionLine2 in "two-row-flat-landscape-custom" grid style?

Thanks!

There isn't one.

Correct... you're stuck with gray for now, I'm afraid...
