[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 499698, member: 65661"] The relative 'recentering' of all the current xmls is a starting point for that re-evaluation of design. I've been working on an 800x600 skin for some time. There are many OSDs/dialogs that I do not have occassion to see. Centering those on the screen, blindly, one element at a time is most tedious, and increasingly open to the problem of an older brain ;) (misalignments) With the traditional 10% overscan allowance on an 800x600 layout, your usable space is similar enough to the original PAL dimmensions. ... 720x540 (compared to the original 720x576). The OSDs and some dialogs fit well inside that allowance and would require little or no adjustment. Only the full display screens (ie, the main skin xmls and plugin xmls) would need adjusment to their layout from that point. I don't have plans to redesign the layouts of the OSDs/dialogs (except for the info dialogs for music, videos, and pictures); they can stay as they are, just need to be centered on the larger screen. regards, Chuck [/QUOTE]
