Changing fonts

[tomqioty]

I'm using the Plain Jane skin. Is there a line of html I can change to make the list of videos in my video library larger?

The following code is from the file: "...skin\Plain Jane\video library2\skin.xml".

Code:

    <!-- special elements -->
    <SpecialElements>        
        <SpecialElement name="ForegroundTransparency" percent="100"/>
        <SpecialElement name="Buttons" loc="35,60" size="140,28" spacing="1"/>
        <!-- item list -->
        <SpecialElement name="IconView" loc="15,15" rows="3" columns="4" horizontalSpacing="5" verticalSpacing="5"/>
[[color=Blue][/color]
        [color=Blue]<SpecialElement name="ListView" loc="10,10" spacing="24" rows="16"/>    [/color]
        <SpecialElement name="DetailsView" loc="10,7" spacing="49" rows="6"/>
        <SpecialElement name="FilmstripView" loc="10,264" spacing="125" columns="4"/>
      </SpecialElements>

Try changing rows to a number other than 16 in the SpecialElement named ListView.

I haven't done this myself, at least not today, so if this doesn't do it just let me know.

Good Luck,
Old Dog

I tried changing spacing and rows, which did change those two items, but not font size.

You will need to create a new TextStyle and use it in the four ListView CompositeImages.

Sorry can't provide an example at the moment.

Can anyone provide an example of this? The default font size for the Video Library is tiny and fuzzy on my TV. I'd like to increase the font size.

Edit the Video Library 2 skin.xml file and change the textstyle sizes.


<TextStyle name="IconViewItemsTitle" color="Linen" typeFace="Arial" size="12" style="bold"/>
<TextStyle name="IconViewItems" color="Linen" typeFace="Arial" size="12" style="bold"/>
<TextStyle name="IconViewFolders" color="Linen" typeFace="Arial" size="12" style="bold"/>
<TextStyle name="TranscodeTag" color="Yellow" typeFace="Arial" size="13" style="bold"/>
<TextStyle name="TranscodeText" color="Linen" typeFace="Arial" size="13" style="bold"/>
<TextStyle name="ListViewText" color="Linen" typeFace="Arial" size="12" style="bold"/>

Start with changing the numbers 13 to 14, and then the ones that are 12 to 13 and see how they look.
