    Theres one (small) thing that always bothered me... that i always had to leave Fullscreen TV or video to see what time it actally is. i saw in the forums that many people feal the same way so i tried to add time and date to osd.... and failed.. luckily someone else put me with the nose right into it, so i thought it would be useful for everybody to see (-;


    open as well your tvosd.xml as also your videoosd.xml from your specific skin folder. then at the end (or whereever you want) above the </controls></window> tag paste this:

    Code:
    	<control>
    		<description>Time</description>
    		<type>label</type>
    		<id>201</id>
    		<posX>40</posX>
    		<posY>20</posY>
    		[b]<label>#date - #time</label>[/b]
    		<align>left</align>
    		<font>font14</font>
    		<textcolor>ffffff</textcolor>
    	</control>

    you can play around with the position, fontsize etc. and even with the text displayed despite date and time. it will result in something like this:

    i hope this is useful for some of you (-;
