[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1285796, member: 141969"] This works correctly for me. The first screenshot below shows the border highlight for a programme that is currently recording, and the second screenshot shows the border highlight for a programme scheduled to record in the future: [ATTACH alt="current_recording.JPG"]209149[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="future_recording.JPG"]209150[/ATTACH] Strangely, this all seems to happen without defining anything specific to the border highlight. The only odd aspect that I noticed is the texture (image) that is used for the border highlight, namely [B]tvguide_highlight_border.png[/B]. This is a 1x1 single-pixel image. It is [I]not[/I] a frame. This suggests to me that internally the skin engine is using the support for borders. Very few skins use borders, because mostly borders do not work correctly. However, there is one combination of settings that does work correctly, and that is when the image used to fill the border frame is a single pixel. In this case, the skin engine simply repeats the single pixel horizontally and vertically as many times as necessary to fill the border frame. This gives the border frame the important property that the thickness of the frame remains constant as the frame is resized to fit different shapes and/or different sizes (this is exactly the behaviour that you want for the EPG, where the width of the EPG grid cell varies according to the duration of the programme). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
