@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.
44870
2. The menu>information>devices screen doesn't provide enough room for my seven tuners. This screen shot shows my fix.
44871
3. The 'Stop recording now' message is truncated (instant record button from ChannelSelection screen). My screen shot of fix.
44872
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.
44874

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

[Rob van der Does]

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

[Rob van der Does]

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.

As shown above, the Info-devices screen shows my tuner E twice.
Not very important but I thought I'd show you before I forget.

[Rob van der Does]

Could you please see if this is the same when using iSkin (from the feeds) please?
I don't have that many tuners to test.

[stick50jr]

iSkin seems okay. Vix-Night-HD is also okay.
52023

I'll have a bit of a look at Magic-FHD and see if I can spot what's going on.

[Rob van der Does]

No need, then I know what the issue is.

[Rob van der Does]

Can you try this version please: 52024

[stick50jr]

Thanks Rob, this avoids repetition of tuner E, but tuners F, G & H are hidden (not enough space to display).

However, just deleting the 'nims' line works better for me as the eight tuners are listed in four lines (only five lines available):


<screen name="Devices" position="fill" flags="wfNoBorder">
<panel name="BasicTemplate"/>
<panel name="Red1Panel"/>
<widget source="TunerHeader" render="Label" position="735,120" size="1177,50" font="Regular;36" foregroundColor="secondFG" halign="center" zPosition="1"/>
<widget source="Tuner0" render="Label" position="735,175" size="1177,40" font="Regular;30" foregroundColor="grey" halign="center"/>
<widget source="Tuner1" render="Label" position="735,215" size="1177,40" font="Regular;30" foregroundColor="grey" halign="center"/>
<widget source="Tuner2" render="Label" position="735,255" size="1177,40" font="Regular;30" foregroundColor="grey" halign="center"/>
<widget source="Tuner3" render="Label" position="735,295" size="1177,40" font="Regular;30" foregroundColor="grey" halign="center"/>
<widget source="HDDHeader" render="Label" position="735,370" size="1177,50" font="Regular;36" foregroundColor="secondFG" halign="center"/>
<widget source="hdd" render="Label" position="735,425" size="1177,200" font="Regular;30" foregroundColor="grey" halign="center"/>
<widget source="MountsHeader" render="Label" position="735,630" size="1177,50" font="Regular;36" foregroundColor="secondFG" halign="center"/>
<widget source="mounts" render="Label" position="735,685" size="1177,190" font="Regular;30" foregroundColor="grey" halign="center"/>
</screen>

I've put this into my skin_user_Magic-FHD.xml for the moment

[Rob van der Does]

One more try please: 52026

Explanation: I have code in to cover the new ViX code as well as the old code used by ATV. They didn't have the same size, so one line peeped from the lower layer.

[stick50jr]

Yes that works well. Thanks Rob. That covers it up.:)

[No.Trace]

Hallo ...

Great skin ... but what happend to the clock on the infobar?
In openVIX 020 it look good and with 026 the clock won't fit nice to the bar.

[Rob van der Does]

Well. that's a matter of taste.
I had to change position/size anyway, to accommodate the new Date/Time options, in which the widgets may require more space, depending on user settings. And to me this seemed to be a nice setting, but obviously we can differ in opinion :)

[No.Trace]

;)
That would be great ... the day isn't bad, but i think the position is noch the best.

[Rob van der Does]

You can change the lay-out (not the position) via the time settings in the menu.

[No.Trace]

Hi ...

Yes i saw it, but there is only the long day possible ... perhaps you can add a short day Mo/Di/Mi ?
Or you can split the Date/Time in 3 Lines ? After that it will fit a bit better under the picon.

Noticed that this latest "new design" where in bouquet list is shown little bit more from tv guide which I like it cuts out technical information about current channel while program guide is designed to be in two columns. Being perfectionist it's really ugly and I'd like to get rid of last row of first column :P
52364

[Rob van der Does]

Tell me please how one enters the "bouquet list"; I have no idea.

[tomuser]

I meant if you press arrow up or down while watching some channel you'll get channel list in current bouquet. (Or TV button getting bouquet list and then entering in to channel list in it)

[Rob van der Does]

I'm sorry, but both methods don't work. I found no way to get into the list that your screenshot shows.

[tomuser]

Really? How do you open channel list where you select which channel to watch? Please see picture number 3 in first post of this topic - this is the list I'm talking about and in bottom there are technical info about current channel and little bit info about tv programs to follow next. In newer version it has changed to show more info about following tv programs into two columns like seen in my picture.

[Rob van der Does]

Ahhhhhh, I thought this was about the G-EPG.....
OK, seen that, it's on my list :)

[tomuser]

:thumbsup: at least we sorted it out now :D

[Rob van der Does]

Done, see

[Cracker]

Hello,

It seems that with new update (.30) time and date style settings are no longer available. (Box Vu+ Uno)

[Cracker]

By adding this line to skin.xml under parameters section, the feature is back.

Location: /usr/share/enigma2/Magic-FHD

Line: <parameter name="AllowUserDatesAndTimes" value="1,1"/>

[gedclarke]

Hello Rob love the skin but I have seen a couple of things which you may have not. If you can sort great, if not no worries and as always thanks for the skin and all your hard work

When you select a channel using direct channel number, the number and channel name are not centered
52561

When fast forwarding a recording the title and time elapsed are not centered
52560

[ruby1303]

Done, see

https://github.com/OpenViX/skins/commit/f908bed8884749cd6f233af57032c457640afd8d

hi rob, i think your skin has the cleanest look when changing channel (sorry im new, dont know the "cientific name" ahah)
just one thing, its possible to change the color of the time bar from yellow to other color? thanks

[madaboutlotus]

Hi
I have just asked the same thing. Did you get any replies?

[Andy_Hazza]

Not possible unless you modify the files yourself. I'm not a skinner so can't help, sorry.

Long time since anyone posted here, so I hope you're still watching this once in a while.

1st of all I wanted to mention: I love Magic-FHD.
Especially as I very often use the Moviecut Plugin. The way your skin displays the cuts-bar is just magical (pun intented :)). The bar is nice and big, so all the marks and subsequent cuts (actually showing that space as empty) are very visible, helping me numerous times a day to place the correct cuts.

1 thing that already some time ago disappeared, is: when wanting to jump x-minutes ahead or back, thus pressing the >> or << buttons, does not show the minute-window anymore. It would be very nice to have it back for visual confirmation I have entered the correct amount of minutes.

Thanks again for a fantastic skin.
Hans
