top volume osd out of screen

Cronos · 2006-07-29, 10:00

I am using my analogue 16:9 TV as the external output device. Regardless of the skin I use, the volume OSD at the top is positioned outside the visible screen. Is there any way to move it down? It seems it is bound to the GUI, not to the video, as it doesn't change its position upon change of aspect ratio.

I have already tried to shrink the GUI to make it fit, but it is at its minimum size already...

MP is great, keep up the nice work! 8)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Cronos

on the first look it seems to be an overscan issue..? anyways:

go to your skins directory and open the videofullscreen.xml with an editor.

search for this:

<control>
<type>volumebar</type>
<id>501</id>
<posX>660</posX>
<posY>60</posY>
<align>right</align>
<height>16</height>
<imageHeight>3</imageHeight>
<texture>volume.states.png</texture>
<colorkey>0</colorkey>
<colordiffuse>White</colordiffuse>
<visible>no</visible>
</control>

and increase the <posY>...</posY> value to replace the volumebar.

edit: the same of course for mytvfullscreen.xml

I guess you might call it an overscan issue. However, my Intel onboard chip only has poor scaling capabilities on the TV. If I downsize the output, It becomes scmaller than my visible screen. I haven't found any better setup than my current one. Oh well.. :?

Thnx again for your help, :wink:

oh wow, so does that mean i can change the style of it, and move it to the bottom where most programs have it? Cheers
