thumbnail panel problem

[webMASTER_P]

i am having a problem having a thumbnail panel display like i want it to
take a look at my programs and my music
(my music is still being worked on)
note that in my programs, i have 3 rows, and in my music 4 rows

my code is as follows
references.xml

<control>
<description>default thumbnail panel</description>
<type>thumbnailpanel</type>
<id>11</id>
<posx>242</posx>
<posy>180</posy>
<width>470</width>

<itemheightbig>140</itemheightbig>
<thumbwidthbig>100</thumbwidthbig>
<thumbheightbig>100</thumbheightbig>
<thumbposxbig>14</thumbposxbig>
<thumbposybig>6</thumbposybig>
</control>

myprograms.xml

<control>
<description>thumbnail panel</description>
<type>thumbnailpanel</type>
<id>8</id>
<onleft>2</onleft>
<onright>2</onright>
<onup>2</onup>
<ondown>2</ondown>
<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
</control>

mymusicsongs.xml

<control>
<description>thumbnail panel</description>
<type>thumbnailpanel</type>
<id>51</id>
<onleft>2</onleft>
<onright>2</onright>
<onup>2</onup>
<ondown>2</ondown>
<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
</control>

as you can see, i am defining everything in references, so why would my programs, and my music be this inconsistent?
thanks

just a stab in the dark, but i suggest that it is because you only have 15 items in my programs, but more than this in my music.

try changing the <height> parameter to something smaller (say 350 or so) in references.xml.

aha!
99% sure that that's what it is
thanks a lot, i'll give it a crack tonight

[webMASTER_P]

yup, that did the trick
about 30 more xml files to go, and the skin will be done

i would like the default xbmc skin to show 4x4 rows of icons (preferably for all media types) in the (small) icon view.

would it be just a matter of editing references.xml or is there more to it? (would it even fit within the default skin parameters, would i have to move a lot of other stuff also?)

can anyone give me pointer where and how to begin?
or will it be a trial and error mission *
