Saw the other post about using Overlay - I'm using the VMR9 filter. Do you want me to try the patch from Sub??

Worth a try. I didn't have that problem using VRM9. I assume you get the same problem with the blue skin?

When using the Avance theme in Community Skin WS, if you go into Video Library the title at the top of the screen is 'Music Library' instead of 'Video Library'.

Love the skin themes, keep up the great work!

Sorry about that.

This is the replacement xml.
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

If I get some time this week I'll add it to the official package and a new theme or plugin.

Hey, no problem. I already had it fixed on my machine, but thought you might want to know about it.

I am using lately the Community Skin WS with the black theme from the Skin Plugin. I love it.

There is one font that shows much badly then the rest, I don't know if it's something missing on my system, or by design.

It's the font used in the OSD (the time markers, the description, everything that is showing in the Video OSD). I think it also used in the description in the main Guide, but I don't remember now.

It looks like a very low resolution pixelized font, whereas the rest are nice smooth fonts. I'm running in 1280x720 resolution.

Is there something I can do?

The limitation of the OSD is that it must be 720x480, so that gets all ugly due to scaling up. That is a known "issue" when doing higher resolution skins.

But if I'm not mistaken, I don't have this problem with other skins. I mainly use the default Blue (is it high res? I have no idea how to tell), but also have been using Sassari.

Blue is using 13pt. Tahoma in the OSD skin.xml

Most of the themes I use have Arial. Think that may make that much of a difference?

You are talking regular stuff and not the live-guide right? Sassari uses a much "smoother" font.
