Re-arranging current/next program in TV OSD (BlueTwo skin) (1 Viewer)

[Cato72]

Hi,

Edit: Changed title to be more spesific.

I think the BlueTwo skin is fabulous - except for how current and next program is shown in the TV OSD.

Today the next program is more visible (font13, white color) compared to current program (font10, dimmed color). And since the placement of next program is above current program, it makes it easy to mix these (ie it's unlogic).

My suggestion:

1) Make current program font13 and color white
2) Move next program under description with font10 and a dimmed color
3) Make program up/down buttons align to description (because it looks better). By moving next program under current program, the arrows on the buttons makes more sence (up down a timeline)

This is the changed part of the file (description and id not changed):

TVOSD.xml:

	<control>
		<description>Plot</description>
		<id>0</id>
		<posY>435</posY>
	</control>

	<control>
		<description>On tv NOW</description> 
		<id>36</id> 
		<posY>410</posY>
		<font>font13</font> 
		<textcolor>FFFFFFFF</textcolor>
	</control>

	<control>
		<description>On tv NEXT</description> 
		<id>37</id> 
		<posY>485</posY>
		<font>font10</font> 
		<textcolor>FFB2D4F5</textcolor>
	</control>

	<control>
		<description>Program Button Up</description>
		<id>33</id>
		<posY>435</posY>
	</control>

	<control>
		<description>Program Button Down</description>
		<id>34</id>
		<posY>435</posY>
	</control>

Comments wanted!

Third!
Oh, I added current time to my OSD. I just can't make out the time based on the progress bar.

You'd be my king if this change could be made "official"

Code?

Could you please publish the XML-code for current time?

Strange, I search on "time" (with and without quotes) but get no result...

Anyway - I've added this tips to my TVOSD.xml and now I get everything the way I want!

Here is my addition with current time on top of the progress bar:

	<control>
		<description>Time</description>
		<type>label</type>
		<id>201</id>
		<posX>380</posX>
		<posY>391</posY>
		<label>#time</label>
		<align>right</align>
		<font>font13</font>
		<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
	</control>

Hope someone find these changes worthy to be included in the original release...

I like them. It would be really cool if there was a way you could release the code as an xml file, and i could just replace the old one! (i am a newbie at programming)

Any suggestions?
