partial extra line on 8-channel guide

[johnsonx42]

After installing CS4-SD (release), I still have the same minor cosmetic issue on the 8-channel tv guide as I posted in the beta thread. There's an extra few lines of black border below the 8th channel line. Is this something that can't be fixed for some reason?

(this screenshot is the same as I posted before, but it looks the same now)

I think this may be related to to how the listings are rendered by GB. Although I can't reproduce what you're seeing on my setup I have seen this before while laying the TV Guide out.

If you're happy enough to alter the TVGuide skin.xml you could try increasing or decreasing the vertical size of the listings in the skin, very slightly:

Code:

<Placement name="Listings" loc="25,18" size="72,[color=Red]56[/color]" rows="8" brightenCurrentShowsPercent="15"/>

Like 56.1 (2/3/4 etc) or 55.9 (8/7/6 etc) and see if it helps.

I finally got around to fixing this. I found that decimal increments in the size parameter made no difference until I got to .5. At 56.5 the listings filled the box perfectly, but were off line slightly compared to the channels... which was an obvious result once I realized the Channels also had a placement setting. Thus, the following lined everything up:

Code:

<Placement name="Listings" loc="25,18" size="72,[color=Red]56.5[/color]" rows="8" brightenCurrentShowsPercent="15" />
  <Placement name="ChannelNames" loc="3,18" size="20,[color=Red]56.5[/color]" rows="8" />
