We are looking for comments on enhancing the appearance of the screen by adding additional color options and better font size control within the program.
Take a look at the picture link attached.
1) In Guide with time line, show 1/2 hours (Example 2:30) across the top if the zoom is high enough to have room to display it.
2) Set Font size for text in guide timeline and description of listing at bottom or in top when on Timeline+TV
3) More color options other then Blue/Black/Gray
4) Be able to set color for Highlighted items

1. More zoom level or addition text in header?
2. More size?
3. What color you need?

I am not like do many settings because it is very bad for UI and usability.

More color schemes is not problem for UI but 10 settings of font size is really bad.

If you can not do all the changes, the one that would be the most helpful for people with bad eye site is the font size on the timeline and the show description at the top and the show description when you are in the Channel list.

Font size in Options->Interface. No?

No that only changes the font size on the channel name!!

Do you mean this option not change size of text in guide? This is global parameters for all texts in app.

You are correct, that when you specify a larger percentage for the font, all the text gets bigger. The problem is that if you set the percentage high enough for the description data to appear larger, the channel titles are TOO large. Here are 3 pictures set to 100%, 120% and 140%. The 140% makes the description data better, but the CHANNEL TITLES ARE TOO LARGE.

Do you have idea about font size options? I am not like have too many params.

The current problem is that if the Channel font is 20point ( 1 poiint is 1/72 of a inch) at 100% and the description font is 6 point, increasing by 140% will put the channel text at 28 point (which is very large) and the description will only go to 8.4 point.

If you do not want to set a seperate scaling factor for the description text, on option you have is to double the scaling factor selected for the description data. For example if select a scaling factor of 120% for the channel title, you could double the increase of 20 % to 40% for the description data and increase the factor to 140% for that text.

But the ideal solution would be to have seperate factors for the three area. 1) Channel Name and Show Name at top the way it works now. 2) Show Name in Guide and 3) description of show at top of guide

OK. I thinking about 3 parameters for 3 types of text...

How did you get the UI to look like this? Beta builds or regular?

Sky Screamer,

Beta Builds. If you need help just let me know.
Frank

Skyscreamers, You need to be using both M3U and a XML EPG linked to the Source.
