I am trying to make a 3D "Wheel" type thing. It will have 3 or 5 items on the page.
The top or focused one will be filling up most of the page, then there will be two zoomed out more and on the sides.
I know it will have to use a scrollView and some animation.
A great example of what I want to do is the music app in lanscape.
How would I go around doing this?
Thanks is advanced,

Have a look at this open source library.

How would I allow panorama items text to gather up like in the picture below? (By the way the image is not mine).
Notice how the Panorama Item titles are like "Contacts Chats" not spaced out like regular Microsoft panorama has it? How would I do that?
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure that is a Pivot Control, which looks similar to a Panorama Control.
There's a good video at Channel 9 on the two controls: Windows Phone Design Days - Pivot and Pano
WP7 Office hub panorama header looks like this:
What is it?
one solid image
two images (one for logo, one for "microsoft Office")
all vector elements
The answer interests me only because I know how to achieve this only in the first two cases.
Basically I need to create a TextBlock in PanoramaHeaderTemplate, that would be like this:
<TextBlock Foreground="Black"><Run Text="smallBold" FontWeight="Bold"/><Run Text="Normal"></TextBlock>
So the resulting panorama should have a look:
If I use FontWeight directive in the PanoramaHeaderTemplate - it for some reason has no effect.
If I use PanoramaTitleTemplate, I get the controllable text weight, but I have a panorama header element appear for some reason, that only displays a x:Key element name of the PanoramaItem, that results in an appearance of a header I don't need at all. This happens even if I don't define the panorama header.
So which is the correct way to achieve the look on the Panorama "upper element", whether it is Title or Header, that is shown on the smallBold.Normal figure?
I don't know what Office uses but it's irrelevant because, as a native app, it wasn't created with Silverlight.
You can create the same effect by changing the Panorama.TitleTemplate to contain whatever you want (TextBlocks, images, etc.). You may also have to adjust the defautl Style applied to the template to set a Height and Width for the PanningTitleLayer.
It's an image, straight across the panorama. It's very simple, as the panorama view was set up to display long images to support a better scrolling feel for the user.
So i would look into using images, as it's easier to achieve, what you are trying to do, with images, rather than a background image.

Hey everyone, I am trying to accomplish something with images growing on hover like the fancy grow mouseover effect on google images.
Here is what I have:
http://www.1stbusinessneeds.com/tooltip/tooltip.html
The tooltip is offset and is based on the walter zorn tooltip. What's the best way to have the mouseover popup grow out just like google images (with the text), instead of following the mouse?
(I still need it done with the same tooltip - maybe overwrite it, but it must be present to pass the text and image, it's just the positioning and display method of it that I need help creating, any samples would be appreciated)
You might want to look at JQuery.

I'm wondering if there is a simple and quick way of displaying an image when the user hovers a QLabel...
Since QLabel can be used to display QPixmap, I would like to display some kind of "preview" when hovering a QLabel...
Do you guys know how I could manage this ?
Thanks in advance !
You can set the tooltip to use html, including <img> tags. Will that do what you need?
As described in the docs, you can override the object's event handler if you need to do something fancier in a tooltip than can be done by default. (such as selecting a particular area of an image to put in the tooltip)
As long as you set the button size large enough, you should be able to capture the mouse-over events and display on mouse-over... but this seems like a somewhat strange way to go about things. Why not display all the images at first?
For those who are interested in the result proposed by jkerian :
Simply :
MyLabel->setToolTip("<html><img src="+MyImagePathAsString+"/></html>");
Will result in :
Thanks again to jkerian.
I don't know what kind of layout your QLabel is in, but I'm guessing it will cause weird layout changes if you just set the pixmap on the label when mouseovering it. Rather use a tooltip or just display a pixmap freely on the canvas.
