[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1221437, member: 141969"] [B]Overlapping Text on "Recording Conflict" Panel[/B] I actually discovered this problem in my modifications to the old "DefaultWide" skin. I wondered whether my changes had caused this problem, which is why I checked "DefaultWideHD" in 1.16f. I have been playing around today with my modified skin, and arrived at this: [ATTACH]190046[/ATTACH] Some points: (1) The panel probably ought to be designed to handle more than one or two tuners. I originally had eight tuners (a consequence of my first HTPC using WMC), but two no longer work. However, that still leaves me with six tuners. Although it is a rare occurrence, I have a few times caused the "Recording Conflict" panel to appear. :eek: (2) I have interchanged the list of actions and the list of programmes. This means that if the user has only one or two tuners, the empty black space will occupy the lower half of the panel, and will not separate the programme list from the action list. MP already has many pop-up menus, context menus, and side menus where a lot of empty black space is present in the lower regions, so this change follows that convention. (y) (3) The list of programmes is actually scrollable, so it is possible to see all of the conflicting recordings. I added the spin control to indicate that the list is scrollable, as there does not seem to be any other way of indicating this (neither "#selectedindex" nor "#itemcount" show the correct values :(). (4) It is possible to move the focus to a programme in the list and press the OK button. I would actually expect this to show the "Delete this Scheduled Item" dialogue, so that one could select which scheduled recording to unschedule. But it does not seem to work that way -- pressing OK does nothing! :eek: (5) The screenshot shows that there are four pages in the scrollable list. This is because in the UK it is not obvious which MUX contains which channel, so I had to schedule seventeen concurrent programmes before the eighteeth programme caused the conflict panel to appear. Please don't assume that I actually record any of the programmes shown in the screenshot -- I scheduled them merely for testing purposes. :D -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
