Shortcuts for weekdays in tv guide

2004-05-13, 09:11

Hi,

at the moment, my tv guide looks like this:

As you can see, there is plenty of space wasted at the left side between the channel icons and the programs.

I would suggest to use shortcuts for the weekdays, in the example above something like "Do 13-5" instead of "Donnerstag 13-5" ("Donnerstag" is german for Thursday). This would save some space for the program information.

Maybe the translation xml-files then have to be adapted, too.

To set Donnerstag to Do is simple. Just edit the german strings.xml.
No problem. But I dont know, if this is wished by other people. Therefor I wont generally modify the file this way.

But the space will be the same with this modifikation. To reduce the space, you have to modify the mytvguide.xml, which defines the UI for the TV guide.

Well, then I probably have to adjust the "Time [1..4] label" y-Positions and move them some pixels to the left and stretch them a bit in width. I will try this and post my result-screenshot tomorrow when I'm back home.
