CS4 TV Guide font size

[johnsonx42]

I'm seeing the huge font size in TV Guide. When I change the font size it makes the program listings look normal, but then the channel names become tiny.

I just noticed a little different effect - the font size started out HUGE, and when I changed the text size to -2 the channel names are the same size as the program listings, but the times across the top get tiny

I wonder why this behaves just a little different for everyone?

The timeline is fine for me. The current time and channel names start out fine but then get tiny as I get the program listings right.
That is with editing the skin.xml manually. Using the skin makes the current time, date, timeline, and channel names tiny.

As bad luck would have it...I have now experienced this problem and think I have found a work around.

Short story long. 36" CRT in family room gave up the ghost. Moved 32" WS TV from bedroom and noticed the problem. I noticed one difference with blue, and it is this line...

Code:

<CompositeImage name="CurrentTime" size="16,5">
        <DrawText text="@currentTime" loc="13,10" size="100,100" textStyle="[B][color=Red]ListingStyle[/color][/B]" align="center" valign="center"/>
</CompositeImage>

needs to be changed to...

Code:

<CompositeImage name="CurrentTime" size="16,5">
        <DrawText text="@currentTime" loc="13,10" size="100,100" textStyle="[B][color=Red]TimelineStyle[/color][/B]" align="center" valign="center"/>
</CompositeImage>

For some reason, this makes the text huge? Will fix the installer and create an incremental update.

Beautiful. Now it looks great. Great job guys.

I made that change (to both TV Guide/skin.xml and TV Guide/live-skin.xml), but it doesn't seem to have any effect for me. With the TV Guide Text Size set back to 0, the main TV Guide text size is huge again (and the channel names too), but the timeline and current time look fine, while the font size on the Live tv-guide (3-line) is fine as well.

If I put the text size back to -2, the TV Guide text size looks about right, but the timeline and current time are too small, and the live tv-guide is too small as well. I'd actually like to go to -3 to get the TV Guide text size a little smaller, but then the timeline and more importantly the Live TV Guide become too tiny to use.

Before you do this I would like fix make the currenttheme.xml edition specific - at the moment it's shared between editions but this makes no sense as they are 2 skins in 2 different states. It's quite a small change. Not sure what to do if people are already running 2 editions in an upgrade situation...

Ok, will hold off. As too the two different states, may just have to make them re-install?

I think a reinstall may not be required, the plugin just wouldn't know the current state of the skin. A theme restore would fix that tho. I've commited the changes to SVN if you and hairy want to test them out.

I will get to it this weekend....

Looks like it works for me. Hard to tell since I don't run a client. Will probably post update next weekend with a theme attempt.
