[QUOTE="Alphathon, post: 930494, member: 105814"] I'm currently working on a skin specifically for desktop use with a 16:10 monitor (based upon DefaultWide), but I'm having some trouble getting some things to work. First, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get borders to work. All I really want to use them for is to show highlighted items in the TV guide, but I can't get [I]anything[/I] (guide items, images, buttons…) to display a border. I've had a look in the wiki but it isn't much help - it tells you what parameters to use but not how to actually use borders themselves, and it doesn't give any examples either. The second issue is with scroll bars. I have mouse controls enabled in the settings, and the bars seem to be there (I can click and drag at the side of list controls etc and it works like a scroll bar would) but they are not visible. I have tried manually adding textures, but that doesn't seem to work. As I understand it, this may have something to do with it being based on DefaultWide. Thirdly, I want to add a channel list to the main page of MyTV, rather than using an overlay (i.e. the mini guide). Ideally I'd like to put the full mini-guide on there (now and next, recording info etc) but a list of channels with their logos (and a way to change channel groups) would be sufficient. On a related note, is is possible to put a "change group" button (like is found on the full guide) on either the MyTV home screen or the mini-guide? Edit: Oh, and one more thing. I assume this isn't possible, but it can't hurt to ask. Is it possible to add context-sensitive right-click menus, for example in the recorded tv section? Basically I'm wondering if the overlays can be turned into more menu-like items with dynamic positions based on where the cursor is. [/QUOTE]
