The screenshot that you took is of the Dark Metal skin. This is the skin I am working on but it is the same with the original Bluetwo Skin. There is no way around this issue. The font size is set and if the text is longer then the space provided, it goes over. You could set the font smaller for some of those values, but I would think it would be too small to read.

As for the second issue, I think this has been talked about before. We here in the states prefer MM/DD/YY but most other countries like DD/MM/YY. This is hard coded and cannot be changed. Maybe when the new skinning engine is being worked on, the ability to set it up how you like will be there.

Tank you for the reply ASiDiE

First: Good work, this is skin is better like the original blue2 and this skin have same background style like my HTPC. I can see better the black cursor on my CRT TV like the green.

Don't the Blue task images look out of place though in such a dark skin? Also in most sub menus of mytv the preview window shows some of the mytv task image behind, is the task image needed on these screens?

 

[Sentinel]

Tank you

I update mytv screens.

 

[ASiDiE]

Is it just me... or is your web site slower than a nut sack?

 

[Nemulate]

Just noticed lot of the options in setting menu not visible. Can't see any settings under mytv etc!

 

[Nemulate]

Sorry my fault the options are all there in 0.2 I was testing 0.2 rc4 just now due to problems I'm having with timeshifting!
