Reminders not colored in TV Guide

[Ted the Penguin]

ok so I was trying to update Sassari red to color the reminders in the TV Guide. and they are still transparent.

I added the namedcolors and indicator. the indicator is fine but the guide doesnt get colored. in the blue skin it gets colored, but not sassari, nothing in the logs about it either. but if sub wants they can be posted. I will post the tags I added

Code:

        <NamedColor name="ReminderListing" color="#33FF77"/>

        <NamedColor name="SelectedReminderListing" color="Vertical:#AA2222-Transparent"/>


        <CompositeImage name="StatusReminderIndicator" size="22,22">
            <DrawImage filename="..\_res\bullet_green.png" size="18,18" loc="1,1"/>
        </CompositeImage>

any thoughts? sub? fatman_do?

I though the default was to have the colouring enabled, but you could try the special element settings used in the blue skin as an example:

<SpecialElement name="Guide" loc="50,80" visibleChannels="7" channelRowHeight="40" guideWidth="540" showNavigation="false" borderWidth="2" rounded="false" showChannelIcons="true" showStatusColor="true" showStatusIcon="false" brightenCurrentShowsPercent="16"/>

Thanks for the reply

what that changed: it let the status color be shown when I selected a "reminder" program in the guide, but it did not make the status color appear in the timeline.

also when showStatusColor was set to false the status color was applied for scheduled listings as well as selected listings but reminder listings were blank, I will mark up the XML to show which were honored

Code:

<NamedColors>
        <!-- Colors for the status bar -->
        <NamedColor name="NormalListing" color="Transparent"/>
        <NamedColor name="ReminderListing" color="#33FF77"/>    This is never applied
        <NamedColor name="ScheduledListing" color="#330077"/>
        <NamedColor name="ConflictListing" color="#FFCC00"/>

        <!-- Colors for selected listings -->
        <NamedColor name="SelectedListing" color="Vertical:#AA2222-Transparent"/>      This was always applied, even when showStatusColor was set to false
        <NamedColor name="SelectedReminderListing" color="Vertical:#007700-Transparent"/>    This was only applied when showStatusColor was set to true
        <NamedColor name="SelectedScheduledListing" color="Vertical:#AAAAAA-Transparent"/>     This was always applied, even when showStatusColor was set to false
        <NamedColor name="SelectedConflictListing" color="Vertical:#CCCC33-Transparent"/>     I dont know I have no conflicts

        <!-- the surrounds must be solid colours for now -->
        <NamedColor name="ListingSurround" color="White"/>
        <NamedColor name="ChannelIconSurround" color="White"/>
        <NamedColor name="ChannelNameRectangle" color="Transparent"/>
        <NamedColor name="SelectedListingSurround" color="Transparent"/>
    </NamedColors>

    <!-- special elements -->
    <SpecialElements>
        <SpecialElement name="Guide" loc="60,65" visibleChannels="9" channelRowHeight="46" guideWidth="840" showNavigation="false" borderWidth="1" rounded="false" showChannelIcons="true" showStatusColor="true" showStatusIcon="true" brightenCurrentShowsPercent="20"/>

I will mess around with the blue skin some and see if anything else interesting happens

Ah-Ha, the blue skin exhibits the exact same behavior!!

in summary:
showStatusColor = true makes everything in the channel section of the guide work fine, shows are displayed in their defined colors at all times (whether or not they are selected)

showStatusColor = false, listings are only displayed in their defined color only when they are selected and are normal the rest of the time. Except for reminders, they seem to be treated like "normal" listings)

the color for reminders is not used in the timeline, but the color for a scheduled recording is. well only if the whole block is visible in the timeline (eg. hour long show with only 1/2 hour visible on the guide, does not get highlighted in the timeline)

I have no idea what happens with conflicts, I dont have any

it looks like there is a bug with the main program (or a small part of it), maybe this thread should get moved to the support forum
