@Rob: Magic FHD

[stick50jr]

Rob, I'm using your Magic FHD skin... thanks for your work.

There are a few things that I've come across that I would like to share with you.

1. Tuners E through G do not display properly on the Second Info Bar. This screen shot shows my fix.

2. The menu>information>devices screen doesn't provide enough room for my seven tuners. This screen shot shows my fix.

3. The 'Stop recording now' message is truncated (instant record button from ChannelSelection screen). My screen shot of fix.

4. The Autotimer list uses icons that are too big (code assumes they're all same size, ie 30 x 30) which means bottom of the oversized icons is truncated. Also I have reduced the widget height from 99 down to 80 to allow more autotimers per page to be viewed. My screen shot along with re-sized icons.

I have made these changes in my skin_user.xml file which is attached corresponding to changes for the points above.
skin_user.txt

If you think these changes are generally applicable then you may wish to add them.
kind regards Stick

Thanks, will change those accordingly (although not 100% sure yet about AT, but I'll look into that).

[Rob van der Does]

Thanks, took the all aboard. Albeit changed AT a bit: size of the LockOn/Off is defined in the parameters in skin.xml. And apart from that the same icans are being used in multiple places.

Anyway: good to see some feedback (especially with ready to eat solutions)!

Great stuff... I saw your commit and changed my files back to use the original LockOn/Off... looks better. I'm not a skinner so I didn't understand that parameters could do the job rather than reducing the icon.
Cheers

Well, not much to learn you in the skinning area.....

How do you find readability in general? It took me quite some time before I was happy with it, and I'm still not fully satisfied with the player-bar.

[stick50jr]

Readability is fine in my opinion. Player-bar (playing back a recording ...) seems fine.

When we first had the new full HD skins, I had a look and realised that they needed lots of work to get the proportions right. I didn't contribute to all the work that the skinners and you have put into this but chose to stay with Magic HD Noire. However, now I've gotten around to having a look again, Magic FHD is my strong preference. It is close enough to the one we were using that my better-half is not phased by the change. Happy wife, happy life.

Thanks for the rapid turn around.

Is it possible to change the current program bar in the infobar from yellow to blue (like volume bar color)? How?

[Rob van der Does]

It's about 'templates.xml' --> "<screen name="InfoBarPanel">" --> "<widget source="session.Event_Now" render="Progress" pixmap="infobar/pbar.png" position="270,919" size="1260,12" backgroundColor="un33333a" transparent="0" zPosition="2" borderWidth="0">"

So what you would need to change is "pbar.png" in 'Magic-FHD/infobar" (a new png with the colour you want).

[dniestre]

It worked!

One more thing: how to change the color of the date and time in the infobar (to be like volume bar)?

regards

[Rob van der Does]

In the same screen look for "widget source="global.CurrentTime" "(there are two, use both), and change in "foregroundColor="secondFG"" "secondFG" to any colour you want. Make sure the colour has been defined in "skin.xml".

[sponge_bob]

Anyone know how I can change the green colour in the EPG in this theme to a blue?

Hi there ...

is it possible to "delete" the top of the 2nd infobar? and replace it with weather information?
I would like the softcam info in the infobar bottom right ...
I tried to edit it, but after that try the skin was broken ;-(

thx no.trace

[Rob van der Does]

Yep, a lot is possible, and trying yourself is the best way.
Actually a 'broken' skin is just fine, as the crashlog (and/or the debuglog) will tell you exactly what was wrong

[No.Trace]

Hi ...

ok, then i perhaps will do a 2nd oder 3rd try It is not easy for me to find all locations from and in the files ...

Greetings No.Trace

[Rob van der Does]

Absolutely true, but believe me: trying (and failing) is the only way to learn a bit about skinning. Read the debug or crahslog carefully; this will really help you out.
Of course I can try to help you with specific questions or problems, but I'm not going to make the changes myself.

Tip: for a starter simply read the (end of) the debug log immediatly after opening a screen; that will reveal the name of the screen.
