Moving the Gridscreen lock location and callout to the left
Hi,
The default for the gridscreen appears to place the selection box in the center, and the callout box in the lower right.
However, Amazon Instant Video > Movies shows the selection box at the left, and the callout box below and to the right of it.
How was Amazon (or Roku, since I expect Roku built it for Amazon) able to accomplish this?
Thanks for your input.

As you can see, documentation doesn't seem to be a high priority.

Wow, RokuPatrick's reply on that thread was from over 6 months ago (at the time of this writing). Still nothing.

Re: Moving the Gridscreen lock location and callout to the l
Bump!
I have a client that would like this same functionality, with the GridScreen lock location all the way to the left, just like Amazon's functionality. Is there an attribute on the roGridScreen object that can be set with particular parameters to make this functionality happen?
Thanks!

Re: Moving the Gridscreen lock location and callout to the l
The new "two-row-flat-landscape-custom", "mixed-aspect-ratio", and "four-column-flat-landscape" grid styles for the grid screen move the focused item to the far left (http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/RokuSDK ... tringstyle). The documentation on how to change the aspect ratio for the "mixed-aspect-ration" style isn't correct, however.

Has anyone figured out how to select an aspect ratio with the mixed-aspect-ratio style?
