MovieWiz skin questions

[JavaWiz]

cheers

is it possible to add this into a later release, where you can choose which font to use

Do you mean allow user to set fonts via the config program?

yep - think would be a good feature - especially for those with sight issues

I think changing the font is more a skinning issue rather than something that should be addressed in individual plugins - you can change fonts etc by playing with the skin.xml files, but to save time you should have a look at the Blue retro skin Jaggy mentioned - on the wiki here - by the sounds of it he will be adding the MovieWiz plugin soon, and the advantage of going with a skin is that the various plugins have a consistent look and size.

I agree completely. I've been using Jaggy's skin since he announced it here and I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of interest in it from people with sight issues or small TV's or both. Makes more sense to get behind Blue-Retro-SHV instead of everyone doing their own thing. Besides which, it is a great looking skin.

Thanks guys always nice to hear something you have done is appreciated

Yes I will be releasing a new version of the skin very shortly with MovieWiz support as I actually have it all finished & ready to go but first I have a Question for JavaWiz about the skin option to have different key/button press for vertical or horizontal category list. The reason I ask is I myself use the vertical category list & have changed the skin to match but the default is the horizontal list & I just know if I make two different skins (one for distribution & one for my own use) I will include the wrong one at some stage in the future!

Would it be possible to make the different key press option something that could be selected in config rather than having to edit the skin & key files?

That may be possible, I'm out of town til next week, so am not at my development machine to look at the code, but I believe I could make that list configurable via the plugin.

I'll get back to you on this next week.
