    thats not really a bug.
    from the skin xml file:
    Code:
          <width>30</width>
          <height>30</height>
    so if your tv-channel logos do not have the same res for width and high, they will appear distorted. :)

    Alright no bug than :)
    But when the designer suddenly changes the size of the logos, ALL logos people made for their Blue 2 (and other) skin(s), get distorted in Blue 3...
    Is that really the intention of the designer???
    I'm a designer myself, and that would be, say...not very smart. ;)

    I also noticed more people had trouble with it.
    It would be simple to correct this in the skinfiles, so why not serve all the people that use logos or logopacks.
    I don't see the reason to change and bring along all the work of changing all channellogo's again. That's a lot of work for nothing.

    Actually I wonder why the aspect ration has been something else than 1:1 at the beginning. As channel logos tend to be 1:1.

    EDIT: Guys, what ARE we talking about! :mad:
    The logos WERE square in Blue2wide, NOW in Blue3wide they are streched to a rectangle!
    Forsure they are NOT square 30 x 30 blocks, that's what it was in Blue2wide. The 1:1 aspect ratio in Blue3wide is totally gone.

    I think the misunderstaning is in the fact that Iforgot to mentionthat I'm using Bue3WIDE not Blue3. I forgot there are still people that have to use a 4:3 skin, I assumed everybody has a widescreen these days...:oops:

    Update:
    With Blue3Wide, the channellogo's are not streched out in 'Recorded TV', 'Scheduled recordings', 'Search' and on 'Channels'.
    BUT...on the section 'EPG', 'Television' and 'Priorities' the channellogo's ARE streched out...
    Could you please fix that Harley?

    Could this be it?
    I thought the <keepaspectratio> would "fix" this?

    Hey, although I'm not familiar with programming xml at all, I found out how to keep the aspect ratio!

    Somewhere ELSE in the tvguide.xml, other then the spot where the <keepaspectratio> is mentioned, the channellogo is managed...

    So the actual spot in the file that dictates the size etc of the channellogo does not have the <keepaspectratio> condition with it. So if you add the <keepaspectratio> on the correct spot, the problem is solved!

    Or, if the channellogo picture is always square, change the width to 37, similar to the height of 37.

    THis should also be changed on the Television and Priorities page.
