[QUOTE="falser, post: 62600, member: 21092"] Yeah overscan did occur to me. So far the EPG is the only one I expanded right to the edges. The LCD TV I plan on buying doesn't overscan, so for my own use and at least for the EPG I'd like to use all the available real estate. For an official release I'll probably include an additional xml file to replace that has a bit of a whitespace border around the EPG. Also, doesn't MP have a built-in function to account for overscan (the UI calibration thing)? Boilermaker, thanks for reminding me to install that plugin - it does speed things up. But I'm just slow at the moment also since it's been a while since I've done work like this, and I'm spending time figuring out what control tag does what. knutinh, I'm not doing anything creative at the moment. I'm just getting an existing skin to fill a 1920x1080 screen - with some layout changes to make use of the extra space. Once I have everything refitted the way I'd like for 1920x1080 I'll probably go ahead and work on a new skin. SVG images are not available in MP and may never be, and the existing skins don't scale up to 1920x1080 as nicely as I'd like - they don't utilize the real estate as well as a 1080p native skin would. And I doubt a 1920x1080 skin will scale down to lower resolutions very well since the font sizes would be too small and things would look squished. [/QUOTE]
