is there a tutorial on how to modify text w/in gbpvr? I think it's a edit of some of the xml files but i'm not sure exactly which ones correspond to what.

Basically, I'm trying to increase text size, particularly for mvp display.

-which file is used for the tv guide? I'd like to display 4 rows of channels at a time. make the font in the FBHV - Classic Icon skin 25% larger in the tv guide.
-music/video libary...make the 'play/mode/shuffle' column bold; and make song names 25% larger (even if it means truncation of names).
-main menu: make the dark blue rectangle around 'tv guide'/'music library'/etc that aren't active wider so that it covers the entire name.

ideally, it'd be sweet to have the mce2 blue theme w/ font sizes that are about 15-25% larger than those of the FBHV - Classic Icon skin.

ok so in the skin directory, you can see the folders, they are pretty close to the name of the plugin... tv guide is the ... tv guide:p and you will want to modify skin.xml in those directories (that is the default file) exception: music and video library have a "2" after them so its "music library 2" for the built in library's skin.

for font sizes, they are usually defined at the top of the skin file, I believe in the namedfonts section.

to change the TV guide, I think its in the specialelements section, there should be a setting for number of channels to show... change that.

to mess with the appearance of the buttons, there are definitions for each button type, selected and unselected. look in main menu/skin.xml, they should be defined in there.

honestly, skinning is all about trial and error, just mess around with it until you get it to look the way you want it to.

and save a copy of the XML file before you start so those invariable mistakes along the way don't bite you in the butt Smile

If you wan't to start with the HiVis-BlueMCE2 theme in the Community skin, the work is half-way done for you. You just may need to tweak some things.
