XRecord - skinning question

[tieke]

I suspect it is quite simple, but I was just updating the FBHV skin to XRecord v0.47, and couldn't figure out where to edit to make the size of the Item# text box bigger (see below), and if there was some way to skin the recent/pending list that would be great too

cheers,

I looked at the code and the box size was hardcoded. Attached is a version of the plugin that makes the box size skinnable. The only changes in this skin file are the "Stats" line now has width and height attributes and there is a new element "ContinuationText". Continuation used to be hardcoded 100 pixels to the right of the "Stats". Let me know if it works so I'll submit the changes into the next official version.

<Stats xpos="300" ypos="400" width="130" height="25"/>
<ContinuationText text="Continued" xpos="400" ypos="400" width="130" height="25"/>

As for skinning the recent/pending list that will take a little more time but it's now on my todo list.

I modified the skin for Basic and can't make the Reoccuring or selected recording position correctly in my list box. Using XRecord 0.47

<DrawRoundedRect loc="180,50" size="520,400" radius="7" borderWidth="4" borderColor="White" fillColor="Black"/>

I can see in the code a hard coded xoffset of 115 for video, group and hetero lists. I'll make that offset skinnable and post a 0.47b shortly including the fix for tieke's problem too.

What item is Video, which is Group, and which is Hetero? I was messing with them last night but can't remember.

The groups list is the list where each show group appears as a single item. One for Simpsons, one for CSI Miami... The video list is the list where all the episodes of a given show appear. Five simpsons episodes, 4 CSI Miami episodes. The group list is viewable both as a list or as a grid of posters (advanced view) and can be toggled by hitting Pause/Ctrl-Q. I'm also unclear about the hetero list. It appears for me in the movies section and shows a list of large posters (only 2 or 3 can fit in a screen). Don't know where else other than the movies screen that uses the hetero list.

BTW 0.47b is now available on the wiki including the requests in this thread plus a bonus...

Thought it odd for there to be an item called Hetero List. Does that mean there's a Homo List?

[fla]

I didn't write the code but I can see that the hetero[geneous] list can contain a mix of both scheduled recordings and show import data. The group and video lists contain only one thing so I guess you can call them homo[geneous] lists.

how about the buttons? they don't follow the theme i have loaded, amd should look like this

I'm being greedy, I appreciate your fast and good work. I grabbed the latest CVS of XRecord from sourceforge, still learning the basics of skinning before I dive in to fix bugs.

1 skinning bug and 1 time display bug: All Reoccuring recordings say Monday 1/1/0001 12:00 AM. 2nd image is when I selected a Pending recording, any chance of allowing the x offset of the text? How about channel icons?
