Can you fit 16 lines on TV EPG?

HappyTalk · 2008-03-29, 21:53

I've stuck with blue two wide as in the past when I tried other skins there were always issues. However I tried monochrome and It's really good, especially the way menus can hide to get better use of the screen. I copied in the 12 line EPG but noticed a bit of a gap before the info and wondered if another 2 lines could be squeezed in to give 14 lines? Maybe shaving a couple of pixels off each row this could be rounded up to 16 lines. With larger LCD TV's more commonplace the more chans viewable at once the better IMHO.

Great work though, should be the new default skin as the blue two is looking really old school 2006.

Code:

    <control>
      <description>TVGUIDE Panel</description>
      <type>image</type>
      <id>2</id>
      <posX>20</posX>
      <posY>80</posY>
      <width>1326</width>
      <height>470</height>
      <colordiffuse>60ffffff</colordiffuse>
      <texture>-</texture>
    </control>

Adjust the red bit in mytvguide.xml and dialogTvGuide.xml

OK I changed:-

TVGUIDE Panel|height=530
vertical timeline|height=490
Current program title|posX=470 posY=620 width=500
Current program time|posX=310
Description1|width=720
TV background|posY=624
TV preview window|posY=632

Which gives me 14 lines and looks OK

I noticed I could probably shave about 5 pixes off each bar without altering the font size and this should then fit in 2 extra columns, however I tried changing things to no avail, any ideas? Maybe this could be added in a '16 lines' subfolder off TV Guide along with the 12 & 8 already there for greedy people like me. I've attached the changes in case anyone else is interested in a 14 line epg

cheers
