Hi, really love your work, you're the best thanks. Would it be possible to ad a plugin option, to 2:40:1 overlay mask a 16:9 image. Just to mask the total and bottom of the image. I can not find that feature on any box. I can do it using Potplayer on pc. I would be so great full if it would be possible. Overlay borders on top and bottom 1920 x 816. Thanks.

Speak english boy. I have absolutely no idea what you are on about. Plus i am designing a skin, i am not designing firmware. I think you answered your own question. You have not seen it on any other box.

What for??
 
Is he just referring to letterbox mode. I am confused. Or does he not know you can press the video button to change your aspect/view ratio.
 
I have just tested picons. they are working fine if you press the epg button. Both in the epg and at the top left of the template. (this is on VIX).

Some screens do default to the default icon as there is no way of pulling the particular channels picon in. But epg, channel select, infobar etc (if code changed) do bring in the picon.

** new file uploaded v1.73 **

volume button redesigned.
xmltvimporter skinned
crossepg skinned
cacheflush skinned
Loading spinner now smaller
New record icon for the channel select pages

you might need a full uninstall as I just noticed I called my last file v172 and not v1.72

Been busy m8 just tested your latest. Volume is great now as well as spinner. The record icon is still off slightly in epg i know you said you may not be able to fix just wondered if you found a way but if not no biggey. Great work!

Still trying to find problem with icons on epg top left not showing dont know why mine are not but if I play with the TV much more i think the other half will kill me lol
 
:doh: OMG, for the first time in weeks maybe months I have dropped off the first page. Noooooooo.

Anyway big updated today, although for 99% of you it will mean nothing. It will please lincsat if nothing else.

** New download available V1.8 **

I have skinned all the the network adapter plugin screens. Inadyn, telnet, openvpn etc etc. This was a big chunk of work and means I have very little left to do now. ( I keep saying that every week ... and I am still here).

I have also reduced the icons that appear on the message box so the bottoms not cut off anymore.

Tomorrow is my last testing day on VIX, as I have to retest everything on OpenATV. So once again... can anyone with a bit of spare time go through everything and everthing on your boxes (especially VIX people). Let me know if something isn't skinned or broken.

Tomorrow I plan on doing the automounts screens, IMDB, Auto screen size box and a few other little stragglers. And anything you guys find.
When I reach V2.0 that will be the final version, that will be all folks (so get your last minute shouts in). The end is very near. :dance::dance::dance:

And thanks for the beer tokens over the last couple of days. You know who you are. :yes!:

Kiddac you sir are a true gent - the amount of blood, sweat and tears that have gone into this...Well done mate. Just a couple of small favours to ask to make it in my eyes absolutely perfect (and feel free to tell me to feck off!)

Is there a simple way to make everything in the menus centred instead of left aligned?
Would it be a simple change to make the picon placeholder on the infobar view be at the top left or top right of the screen instead of just above the infobar?
Any chance of skinning enhanced movie center... or is that out of scope?

If I had half a clue with xml I'd have a dabble.... but I haven't and this is your baby!!

Just updated to 1.8 on VIX and it seems to be running smoothly, will post back if I see anything not skinned etc.

Just a quick ask, would it be possible to get the planner screen name changed to "planner" or "home" instead of "box office".

Huge thanks and respect for the skin!

download xml wrench its a nice little free xml editor.

You can try this and see where it gets you.

menu-templates.xml

first screenname is menu. Just change the HALIGN_LEFT to HALIGN_CENTER that should change alot of the menus.

<screen name="Menu" position="0,0" size="1280,720" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="transparent" title="Main Menu" zPosition="4">
<panel name="Template1-logo" />
<panel name="TitleHome" />
<panel name="Template1-bgs-split-bars" />
<widget source="menu" render="Listbox" position="center,335" size="900,288" selectionPixmap="myfocusbars/focus-bar-900-36.png" itemHeight="36" font="skymed;24" foregroundColor="white" backgroundColor="skydarkblue" transparent="1" enableWrapAround="1" scrollbarMode="showOnDemand" zPosition="4">
<convert type="TemplatedMultiContent">{"template": [
MultiContentEntryText(pos = (20,0), size = (880,34), flags = RT_HALIGN_LEFT|RT_VALIGN_CENTER, text = 0 &nbsp;) ],
"fonts": [gFont("skymed",26)],
"itemHeight": 36
}</convert>
</widget>
</screen>


infobar would be a bit more of a faff, as all the inner elements are related to where it's currently placed on the screen. The top left of the screen isn't the start of this element. I hope that makes sense. It can be done but you would alos have to change the positioning of every individual element that makes up the infobar.

I can't fix that, both openatv and vix bring in different values there. One of them is shortened to wed I think. It only breaks on wednesdays a few times a year. YOu can fix that by increasing the size of the first column.

In theory I can put what ever in that area. I had this conversation weeks ago. As we don't have a box office on zgemma, yet we have an icon for it at the top, I just thought it appropriate to have box office for the movie player. Cause if you have download lots of movies it is your box office really ;)

To fix this do the following as i had similar problem that channel names were being cut short

Press EPG
Press menu
Scroll upwards until u get to service width.
Change value to 250 and then id also recommend changing timescale to 120 mins otherwise the programmes will look very squished.
Press green to save values.
