Date display field length too short?

[hasso]

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but the search facility does not seem to be working...
I've noticed that the day, date, time information is being cut off. This morning on the main menu I got "Wednesday, 13 September, 7:25a." (or similar). Is there something I can change to make this field longer or...?

Which skin are you using? It will make it easier to answer the question.

The default skin is being used.

Two step process to make the date field longer. This example lengthens it by 20 pixels.

Edit the proper line in the main menu skin.xml file to have these values.

Code:

<SpecialElement name="Panel" panelName="Clock" visible="true" transparency="0.7" loc="[B]200[/B],10" size="[B]350[/B],70"/>

Then edit the \Blue\Panels\clock.xml file and make the file look like this

Code:

<settings>
    <!-- text style -->
    <TextStyles>
        <TextStyle name="Clock" color="LightGray" typeFace="Arial" size="12" style="bold"/>
    </TextStyles>
    <!-- Composite Images -->    
    <CompositeImages>
        <!-- Clock -->
        <CompositeImage name="Clock" size="[B]350[/B],70">                        
            <DrawText text="@ClockText3" loc="0,0" size="[B]340[/B],20" textStyle="Clock" align="Center"/>                        
        </CompositeImage>                                        
    </CompositeImages>                
    <!-- special elements -->
    <SpecialElements>
        <SpecialElement name="ClockPanel" size="[B]350[/B],70"/>
    </SpecialElements>    
</settings>

That should do the trick.

Thanks... will give it a go tonight.
