Does anyone know a good overscan-corrected-skin?

I am using overscanned (tv-mode) output on my Radeon and BlueMCE2 as skin
but all the edges are 'cut-off'.
Software:
- GBPVR v1.1.9 using PVRX2
- NVidea Purevideo Decoder
Hardware:
- 3 X Hauppauge PVR 150
- Media MVP (RGB) on SONY 14" 4:3 CRT
- S-Video on SONY 32" 16:9 CRT
Computer:
- P IV 1.8 Ghz
- 768 MB DDR
- Ati Radeon X1650 Pro Graphics
Drives:
- 40 GB System (XP Pro)
- 300 GB Data (Recordings) on Lacie Firewire
- 160 GB Data (Video) internal
- 120 GB Data (Audio) internal
- 60 GB (Images) internal

Next upgrade: Faster CPU / more mem.
reboot

It's easy to make your own.
Open the background.jpg in any editor.
Shrink the picture by about 20 pixels on all sides.
Resize the canvas to the original size (720x480), and save it.
The border size will depend on your TV, and how much overscan it has...every TV is different, so for me to create a background, then send it to you, may be totally pointless Smile
Most skins (and gbpvr by default) has most things contained within an overscan "safe" area anyhow...so providing skin designers are aware of this, you should have no problem with any skin.
You can never have enough tuners!

It's not the background that's the problem, but the buttons on the left side of the screen when using the wheather plugin for example.

Get the skin/plugin developer to adjust the button placement.
These should be adjustable in the skin.ini, but not always are.

Just start it in window mode and use the -pos:x,y,w,h command line argument to line it up perfectly with your TV.
