I have increased the font sizes specified in the various skin.xml files to make the text more readable for me, but this has resulted in some improper placement of text, with some text overlapping. See attached screenshot.

I can't figure out how to adjust the text placement to correct this. Can anyone help me out with this?
It would be nice if every skin author could comment their files the way that this file is:

The overlapping is occurring in the NextRecording panel, the skin for which is located in the Panels subdirectory. If you increase the size of this panel, don't forget to change it in both the NextRecording.xml and the Main Menu skin.xml.

If you are trying to increase the font size, you will probably inevitably run into some clipping/overlapping problems - the Flat Blue High Visibility skin is basically a font-enlarged skin which has been going for some time now, and there are still places where the increased font size has had to take precedence over these problems.

In the Panels folder, open up NextRecording.xml
Change the justification to "Center", and it should look better.
If you have a program with an extrememly long name, it will probably overlap still though.
You can never have enough tuners!

This skin is just what I needed! Up until now, the only skin that worked for me was the default Blue skin. Every time I tried switching to another skin, GBPVR would quit working, and I would have to uninstall it and then reinstall to get it working again.

Thanks!

It looks like I spoke too soon. The weather button is gone. It is enabled in the config program, but it doesn't show up on either the MVP or when I run GBPVR on my pc.

I think I have the most recent version of the weather plug-in.
