Skinning Options

[Corey]

Sub,

I know we have briefly discussed some changes you are going to make later on as far as skinning is concerned.  I have a couple more suggestions.  You probably have many of these planned already

1.  More options for the sub menus.  Like when you click on a recording, or TV program from the EPG.  To be able to set background images, or even the color would be nice.  I think I noticed that button spacing for the recordings skin is not available, or if it is its not in the xml file.

2.  Font, width and hieght settings on the channel grid.  Also an option not to use the channel icons.  Option to change the 'selected channel' color and the 'channel scheduled for recording' color.

I don't think the description font setings on the main menu skin work correctly.  I've tried changing the font size and type in the xml file and it made no changes to the display.

Is the program's ratting and gerne included in XMLTV? Those would look great on the EPG.

Great job so far sub, I'm just about finished with another skin.

Release after next will contain the new skinning stuff. I'm aiming to include access to as many settings as I can - Fonts/Colors/Locations/Images etc.

I'll also add the rating and genre. The only reason they weren't included was the local TV guides does contain this information. I wrote my own XMLTV scraper for here in New Zealand, but the website dont list all of the information I'd like.
