Confluence Skin - BRILLIANT - can you do?

[rossi2000]

@Rossi Whatever you think, it is your skin. I could not find any epg description that consumed all of the space available. If you look at the space on the "Channel List" screen for epg description, there is actually considerably more space on the "Graphical EPG" screen.

Thanks again, perhaps you could look at my other questions if you have time?

sky epg doenst fill in the gap, but euro sats do. there is more to these boxes than just sky tv

the no picon on channeselection in the bouquet lists is normal.

@Rossi, if you get a minute you might have a look at the "No Picon Loaded" post I made http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...l=1#post355193 relating to the second info screen for a recorded movie.

@Rossi I think perhaps I was not clear The first Movie Infobar screen or "MovieSelection" has the correct picon based on RecordServiceName I think - it is displayed correctly as expected.

The problem is the SECOND "Movie Event Info" Picon (i.e. second press of OK button whilst recording is playing) that is not displayed for the same recorded movie - the picon is in the picon folder, but the confluence event info screen displays "no picon loaded" which is not correct, and I believe to be a small bug as reported in the link above with screenshots - appreciate if you an take a look.

im not too sure about the epg screen though, it removes some of the epg description.

...sky epg doenst fill in the gap, but euro sats do. there is more to these boxes than just sky tv ...

@Rossi I have taken into account what you said originally and on your later reply - the epg description is about the same as the original as it now "fills" the space to the border at the bottom.

Attached is a new .xml and layout. Again, whatever you think?

@Rossi - thanks for doing this in the latest Hades 12 release

Perhaps you did not see my other post "No Picon Loaded" or perhaps you have not included in this release of Confluence? I provided images and fix here. Perhaps I have overlooked something?

Thanks again for all of the work

@Rossi I have had a look a the xml coding around the "Eventview" and "EventviewSimple" screens between the Confluence skin versions in Hades 11 & 12.

In Hades 12 some of the code has been consolidated to make the "EventviewSimple" a panel in the "Eventview" screen, where as in Hades version 11, there was seperate discrete code for each screen.

At this time the "CONVERT TYPE" for picon reference for the "Eventview" to work with live broadcasts needs to be different from that for recorded broadcasts - see link to the fix posted to "EventviewSimple" above - so unless something changes in the widget, I think the screens have to be different?

Live broadcast Picon XML:
<widget source="Service" render="Picon" position="420,220" size="400,240" alphatest="blend" backgroundColor="transparent" transparent="1" zPosition="2">
<convert type="ServiceName">Reference</convert>
</widget>

Recorded Movie Picon XML:
<widget source="Service" render="Picon" position="420,220" size="400,240" alphatest="blend" backgroundColor="transparent" transparent="1" zPosition="2">
<convert type="MovieReference">Reference</convert>
</widget>

This is the issue causing the "No Picon Loaded" message on the second info screen of recorded movies.

I hope this helps.

@Rossi my favourite skin by far, awesome job.

I am using this on a GI LX-1.

I really like it... is there an option to remove the tuner letter? I know it was recently added in, but with only one tuner, I do not really need it to show any letter there....

How do I get the information (press ok twice) to stay on screen longer than a few seconds?

The massive infobar is awesome...don't change it....!!

Would a 720 version be possible? This does tend to be a little slow to respond sometimes, possibly down to my box...?

[Andy_Hazza]

Take a look in the user interface settings for the time delay.
It will be your receiver's lack of umph for the legginess/responsiveness.
I highly doubt Rossi would do a 720p version.

Is there a way in changing the info on the channel list to a different colour?

[Flyingpig]

Yeah, this is a near perfect skin and the only way I can think that it can be improved is a different colout text (only slightly) to the actual programme name in the list than the channel name.

whereas on mine both are white, and it is hard to distinguish at a glance.

FP.

i will have another look at this at the weekend, i'll see what i can do

FYI: one change I've had to do is to make ListboxSelectedBackground darker, as the bright blue bleeds into the foreground to my eyes (and this is essentially a light-on-dark skin).

                <color name="gmlcolour" value="#00044080" />

in <colors> and

                <color name="ListboxSelectedBackground" color="gmlcolour" />

in <windowstyle type="skinned" id="0">

It might be OK for me to just darken thirdcolour, but I haven't looked at all the places that this is used.

[birdman]

I think there is a bug in this skin (although it could just be me).

If I do an IMDb seach from the EPG the background template is a screen on the left and the PIG at the top right.
but the data is displayed as if expecting a screen overlay in the middle.
