    Small issue with ViXBMC_1080_Confluence skin in IMDB screen

    To the maker of this skin - a big thanks. Loving it :-)

    There is one small issue I have discovered on my copy of the skin (using OpenVix latest release and skin from built-in repository) - screen res set to 1080x1024

    On the IMDB screen some of the text seems to be superimposed on itsself like this image below. Looks like the cast bit needs to move down a bit as it is being obliterated by the "season" and "Release date" info.
    2020-04-05 17_42_34-Window.jpg

    I have looked at the code under the common directory inside the ...common.xml file:

    <!-- ## IMDB ## -->
    <screen name="IMDB" position="fill" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="transparent">
    <panel name="FullScreenTemplate" />
    <widget name="titellabel" position="22,10" size="850,50" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" valign="center" halign="center" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="statusbar" position="22,40" size="850,100" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" halign="left" valign="center" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="menu" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" scrollbarMode="showOnDemand" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="castlabel" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="detailslabel" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" halign="center" valign="center" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="extralabel" position="22,140" size="850,850" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="ratinglabel" position="22,900" size="850,50" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" halign="left" valign="center" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="starsbg" pixmap="imdb/starsbar_empty.png" position="22,950" size="315,32" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" alphatest="blend" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="stars" pixmap="imdb/starsbar_filled.png" position="22,950" size="315,32" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" alphatest="blend" zPosition="3" />
    <widget name="poster" position="1250,600" size="335,377" alphatest="blend" zPosition="2" />
    <panel name="ButtonBar" />
    </screen>


    ... but I'm not sure what to change as I don't want to F the whole thing up.

    Can a more knowledgeable person please give me a pointer.


    Thanks
    Paul

    You can alter the background colours to test them and see what is what. This will enable you to test and adapt.

    So do I. According to the comments at the top it was rossi2000, but I've made the recent changes to it.

    I've seen a similar situation (with overwritten text) in another situation (waiting to spin up the disk for a recoding list?) but in that case it went away once the wait was over, and I couldn't track down what was allowing it, so left things as they were.
    Perhaps I need to try harder now...

    Hi, Pointer 1 - noted :-)
    Point 2. Good thinking - I think however I know the elements that are clashing but I'm not sure that if I change the x,y values whether that will muck it up. I guess i'll have to experiment. To my mind the
    <widget name="castlabel" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="detailslabel" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" halign="center" valign="center" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="extralabel" position="22,140" size="850,850" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />

    all need moving down a touch perhaps to:

    <widget name="castlabel" position="22,180" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="detailslabel" position="22,180" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" halign="center" valign="center" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="extralabel" position="22,180" size="850,850" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />

    I'll have a play tomorrow when the missus is not using it :-)

    so... in the end I changed it to the following and it sorted the issue.:

    <!-- ## IMDB ## -->
    <screen name="IMDB" position="fill" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="transparent">
    <panel name="FullScreenTemplate" />
    <widget name="titellabel" position="22,10" size="850,50" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" valign="center" halign="center" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="statusbar" position="22,40" size="850,100" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" halign="left" valign="center" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="menu" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" scrollbarMode="showOnDemand" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="castlabel" position="22,340" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="detailslabel" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" halign="center" valign="center" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="extralabel" position="22,140" size="850,850" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="ratinglabel" position="22,900" size="850,50" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" halign="left" valign="center" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="starsbg" pixmap="imdb/starsbar_empty.png" position="22,950" size="315,32" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" alphatest="blend" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="stars" pixmap="imdb/starsbar_filled.png" position="22,950" size="315,32" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" alphatest="blend" zPosition="3" />
    <widget name="poster" position="1250,600" size="335,377" alphatest="blend" zPosition="2" />
    <panel name="ButtonBar" />
    </screen>

    :-)

    Obviously I have not made full tests for all scenarios e.g. different resolutions, different font multipliers (in EPG you can increase font and I have all mine to +4 - not even sure that affects the IMDB screens though) etc. but for me its working good.

    Nice one.

    You're still getting some overlaps, this is what simple_1080 comes up with......

    This is on my "to look at" list, but anything that makes it better, even if not perfect, is always welcome.

    Hi, You are quite right ccs. I'm no programmer (and will not make any more changes as the change below took hours of fiddling) but I have had a go at adding scrollbars to that screen and changing the window size. I think I have made some progress :-)

    this is the code I have settled on for now and it seems to be a lot better:

    <!-- ## IMDB ## -->
    <screen name="IMDB" position="fill" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="transparent">
    <panel name="FullScreenTemplate" />
    <widget name="titellabel" position="22,10" size="850,50" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" valign="center" halign="center" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="statusbar" position="22,40" size="850,100" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" halign="left" valign="center" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="menu" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" scrollbarMode="showOnDemand" transparent="1" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="castlabel" position="22,420" size="850,470" font="menulist;32" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" scrollbarMode="showOnDemand" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="detailslabel" position="22,140" size="850,800" font="menulist;34" itemHeight="50" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" halign="center" valign="center" transparent="1" /> <widget name="extralabel" position="22,140" size="850,850" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" />
    <widget name="ratinglabel" position="22,900" size="850,50" font="menulist;34" foregroundColor="maincolour" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" halign="left" valign="center" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="starsbg" pixmap="imdb/starsbar_empty.png" position="22,950" size="315,32" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" alphatest="blend" zPosition="2" />
    <widget name="stars" pixmap="imdb/starsbar_filled.png" position="22,950" size="315,32" backgroundColor="menubackground" transparent="1" alphatest="blend" zPosition="3" />
    <widget name="poster" position="1250,600" size="335,377" alphatest="blend" zPosition="2" />
    <panel name="ButtonBar" />
    </screen>

    Here is a screenshot of how it looks now:

    Hope that's all that was wrong :-)

    I've looked at skins before and found them totally baffling.


    Just to be really boring, your last screenshot shows a rating of 6.5 out of 10, and the blue stars reflect that.

    On my screen shot a rating of 7.7 has 10 yellow stars. Do the stars come straight from IMDB, or does the skin process the rating to give the stars?

    I've managed to work it out (the easy way ).

    Simple_1080 gives "The Spiderwick Chronicle" 10 yellow stars, so it's a minor skin issue.
