More advanced tips?

I'm into this default theme there some stuff in there I've not seen in others and got my head round how some of it works but a few things I don't understand.

I'm unsure of how the whole show/hide thing is operating, take the menu database in default skin. Each item has it's label and art from the database, but how does it make the images that go with each item show and hide?

Also is there a way to make the menu items flip pages with the cursor?

Like if you use the remote/keyboard and set left right move when you read the last visible item it'll change page with that option can you do that with tracking a cursor to scroll through items at extents of the catalog instead of pressing a button to flip?

Also how does the volume slider work?
I can see the text is accessing a variable but how does the slider anim and tracking work?

I've come from using Meedio, like the features in this but the default theme isn't quite what I want and could use more plugins.

OK, figured out the advanced tab now.
Just that volume slider, I'll read up some more, maybe someone can enlighten me.
