Position Of Icons in POPUP view of EPG

[dr_parky]

Hi,

Im currently finishing up a new theme, but Im having problems with the spacing between Icons on the EPG Popup.
I have set the X & Y offsets, but I would like to position the Icons closer together on the Y axis. I can't see how to set this in the skins.xml file.

Am I doing something stupid ?

Cheers

Hi,

I've pretty much sussed how to do this on all the screens except the EPG popup - If anyone can give any help on this it would be most appreciated.

Sorry, I dont understand what you asking. Can you explain in more detail, or possibly send me a screenshot?

Hi,

In the skins xml file for the main menu there is the following:-
<!-- location of controls -->
&lt;ButtonStartOffsetX&gt;60&lt;/ButtonStartOffsetX&gt;
&lt;ButtonStartOffsetY&gt;75&lt;/ButtonStartOffsetY&gt;
&lt;ButtonSpacing&gt;55&lt;/ButtonSpacing&gt;
I used this to play around and set up the button spacing for the new theme.

In the EPG skins.xml there is :-
&lt;SpecialElements&gt;
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;Guide&quot; loc=&quot;50,100&quot; visibleChannels=&quot;5&quot;/&gt;
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;TimePeriods&quot; loc=&quot;50,65&quot; /&gt;
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;SelectedProgrammeTitle&quot; loc=&quot;120,310&quot; size=&quot;540,25&quot;/&gt;
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;SelectedProgrammeDesc&quot; loc=&quot;120,332&quot; size=&quot;540,85&quot;/&gt;
<!-- popup -->
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;ProgrammePopupButtons&quot; loc=&quot;-20,125&quot; /&gt;
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;ProgrammePopupTitle&quot; loc=&quot;220,120&quot; size=&quot;440,35&quot;/&gt;
&lt;SpecialElement id=&quot;ProgrammePopupDesc&quot; loc=&quot;220,150&quot; size=&quot;500,45&quot;/&gt;

but there is no equivalent of &lt;ButtonSpacing&gt;55&lt;/ButtonSpacing&gt;
Im using large Icons for the popup display so that they are easy to see and read on the TV screen, I would like to partially overlap them, but currently they all seem to have a fixed distance between them, and so when you get the options

Watch Now
Record
Record Season
Exit

Pop up, they are spaced so far apart vertically that one shoots off the screen .

Hopefully that clarifies it, if not let me know and I'll send you some screen shots.

In the current release (v0.17) its not configurable. I've added a button spacing setting for the next release.

BTW, are you running the most recent release? It looks like you XML for the main menu above is from an earlier release. There were quite a few changes to the skin .xml files for the latest release.

Hi,

thanks for the info.
Im running 0.15, I was ill for a while and missed the 0.16 release and can't get the 0.17 release to work, it executes, and thier is a process showing in task manager, but then does nothing (Except cause a reboot after a few minutes). So I figured I'd wait till 0.18 , I looked in the forums and couldn't see anyone else with this problem.

If you've still got 0.17 installed, run it up then send me the gbpvr.exe.log it produces. This should contains some clues.

Hi Sub,

thanks for the reply (I also have the username Dr_parky).
I'll reinstall .17 over the weekend and send you the log files.
Thanks for the help.

...could be you mixed up the xml files. I have also problems with 0.17 and xml files from older versions.....
Be sure to delete all &quot;old&quot; stuff and edit the new xml files accordingly......

Hi,

Mamema - Big thanks - that was exactly what was causing the problem - I hadn't checked, the old Skin files were still there. Deleted them, reinstalled - works like a charm.
Guess I should be a little more observant.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I'll get back to trying to sort out that theme.

Cheers
