1) seems that the peview window is somewhat off. Ideas what xml file has this info?
2) I added some more rows in the guide so I can see more channels, but how can I increase font size in the guide

Thanks for a really good skin!

yeah the fonts are copied. I don't use any other screen were i need a date near the files. How do i get a screenshot?

Press "Alt" + "PrtSc" and use any picture-editing program to paste the screenshot into a new file ("Ctrl" + "v"). Save the file as JPEG, GIF or PNG. Then you can add it to your message here

It's just cosmetic, but anyways... I see random font changes in some texts. Not only in TV-Series, I know I saw it last night in some other place but I just don't remember where... it was too late, I'm afraid



And just a question... is it me who's lacking something or there's really an empty space at the right in that view? I thought there should be a series poster or something, but maybe the skin is designed with that empty space on purpose. I personally would prefer a poster, anyway the background is almost invisible. And sometimes long series names get truncated... when there's a lot of empty space that could be used :

There are a number of options to remove the topbar. In myHome you should remove or comment out the following:

<!-- Topbar -->

The menu-generator now allows you to select if this code should be in the home-screen in the first place!

The topbar in all the other screens can be disabled in MediaPortal Configuration. The plugin is a window-plugin called "Topbar"

I think you misunderstood me. I don't use the topbar plugin. I'm talking about the "now playing" overlay for music and other media (video). Never mind.

Another thing, when I enter MP-TV Series screen, the series description is not shown (graphical mode) until I select a show and go back. I'm using the latest MP-TV Series SVN. Anyone else get this?

I get this also, selecting a show then going back I then see the information (latest SVN), also 3 or 4 rows of tv show banners would look much nicer IMO

Not here at least... I see series description at once, only thing I've noticed is at start, there's an instant when I only see the labels but they are replaced inmediately with series description text, in less than a second.

I really don't remember if my version of MP-TVSeries is latest or not ... mine is v2.0.3126, and I use the old adagio : it works, so don't ever touch it

The preview window is where it always have been, but I guess that adding more channels to the Guide moved it up and behind the preview...

You can change the font-size by replacing the font in this section with a larger:

    <control>
      <description>template for program title light area</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>24</id>
      <posY>13</posY>
      <visible>no</visible>
      <label>-</label>
      <font>mediastream12</font>
    </control>
	
    <control>
      <description>vertical timeline</description>
      <type>image</type>
      <id>25</id>
      <posX>55</posX>
      <posY>240</posY>
      <height>323</height>
      <colordiffuse>ffffffff</colordiffuse>
      <texture>tvguide_slider.png</texture>
    </control>
	
    <control>
      <description>template for program title darkarea</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>26</id>
      <posY>13</posY>
      <label>-</label>
      <font>mediastream12</font>
      <visible>no</visible>
    </control>

Next available font in size would be "mediastream14", but take a look at "fonts.xml" to see which are allready there.

Here are some screens showing what I mean about the "now playing" window, and also of my empty series descriptions.

re-read my post, I edited it 3 mins after you posted a reply. If you add <visible> to the right places then you fix what you want
