2 small font questions (1 Viewer)

[Gulan]

Hi there,

I installed latest beta and everything is working perfectly for me (many thanks).
Still i would like to change 2 small things:

1. The (movie) summary
   The font is a little bit too small for us. Any idea where I can change this?
2. listed movies watched (i use the list view)
   the font color is a bit more greyed compared to unwatched but because unwatched is for me another category i would like them to be white also. Also for this: any help appreciated.

Open the movingpictures.details.xml file, search on "--------" which is a quick way to get you to the Summary section, and right below it, you see <font>font11</font> change that to for example <font>font14</font>. You can't pick any number, the fontXX has to be part of the MediaPortal setup, but font14 is.

There is also a summary view in 'movingpictures.filmstripview.xml', 'movingpictures.listview.xml', and 'movingpictures.thumbsview.xml' so dependng on what view you use, adjust that one as well (or simply adjust them all).

These XML files are in your MediaPortal program skin folder, so be sure to edit the skin you use. This is most likely Blue3Wide, so the folder would be:

"C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Blue3wide" (32-bit)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Blue3wide" (64-bit)

Enjoy.

two ways to go about this:

1. Change the global setting for all skin files in references.xml:
- Search for <type>listcontrol</type>
- Edit the <playedColor>ffa0d0ff</playedColor> property such that its white: <playedColor>ffFFFFFF</playedColor>

2. Change the local setting for MovingPictures list view:
- Edit the file movingpictures.facade.xml
- Search for the facade control with ID:50
- Search for the node that defines the <type>listcontrol</type>
- Add the property to override watched color: <playedColor>ffFFFFFF</playedColor>

StreamedMP, allows you to set the colours at install time. So you can just run Modify from the Add\Remove programs.

all

to be complete about the summary-font: there seems not to be separate movingpictures.filmstripview.xml', 'movingpictures.listview.xml', and 'movingpictures.thumbsview.xml' (anymore?) but a movingpictures.view.xml. There I changed them all.

nice work!

Only in StreamedMP default style the skin files are split.
