[QUOTE="vfrvulcan, post: 792932, member: 115365"] Thanks MM, command line line scheduling is less of an issue with seeing more of the guide (hard-coded 4 hours is a bit of a pain though). I've got no hope of writing a program to give that functionality so I'll give up on that idea or wait for some great dev to write it :) I fully understand the 10' interface, I was merely saying that the desktop seems to be overlooked. I've modified the the standard defaultwide skin to show 24 channels instead on the standard 10 but I'd like to see more than 4 hours of schedules on it to be able to replace DigiGuide. A 1680x1050 screen can easily handle 24 channels and 8 hours. I'd like to try make my own skin in it's entirety for desktop monitors but the documentation seems to be aimed more at v1.1 or lower and isn't that wonderful in it's desciptiveness as to how to start.
