[QUOTE="James, post: 28159, member: 12681"] Hi FilpGer, I would say define a number of genre groups or catagories. 30 seems like too many. Too many colours will make a mess of the EPG in my option. I would say limit it to 5 or 10 at the most. Then name them in the strings files. Apply colours to them in the skin. For example Movie, News, Sports, ... Then have a user configurable system for mapping/translating the EPG genres to these groups. So the 1000 genres that you have are most likely Movie/Drama, Movie/Comedy, etc .. these cann all be mapped to Movie. The original genre can still be kept, but the mapping would be just for the colour selection. /James [/QUOTE]
