open mytvguide.xml

find:

Thanks Infini

However... after doing and all the changes, and nothing else... honest guv, I get the following in the bottom right corner,

#TV.Guide.?enre

What's all that bout ???

Using 0.2.2.0, Blue2 16:9

Any suggestions?

you have to delete the fonts folder in the skin directory. Lets MP regenerate them.

Thanks Infinityloop, that's nice work. I was actually thinking of suggesting some kind of interface where the sizes in the TVGuide could be changed. I just thought it would be nice to edit font size etc..
Anyway, this works for me.

great tips, i´ve already changed the layout/fontsize of a couple of tvosd´s with the help of it!

what i´d still like to know is if you can change the actual number of channels displayed in the the tvguide or the minitvguide. by default i think there´s 11 channels in the tvguide and 5 or 6 in the miniguide, i´d like to decrease that for the tvguide if possible.
