TV-Guide changes (skinners please read) |
| Written by infinityloop, on 11-11-2008 |
Until now, we used icons in TV-Guide to mark that an entry is scheduled to get recorded.
If the show was quite "short", then this icon overlayed the text and just did not look good.
So we thought about a different approach and came up with the following solution.
Instead of adding a icon, we just use a different background graphic now, which will make scheduled recordings to appear like this in the TV-Guide.

This change will be part of our RC4 release and it will not "break" existing community skins.
If someone would like to incorporate this useability enhancement into his skin, then he simply has to add the following files into the "Media" folder.
- tvguide_recButton_Focus_left.png
- tvguide_recButton_Focus_middle.png
- tvguide_recButton_Focus_right.png
- tvguide_recButton_noFocus_left.png
- tvguide_recButton_noFocus_middle.png
- tvguide_recButton_noFocus_right.png
As you can see, each button consits out of 3 elements to avoid distortions when it gets stretched to the length of the entry in TV Guide.
If these files are not present, then the TV-Guide will just use the icons as it did before.
I would like to thank bavarian and harley for the creation of this nice useability enhancement.
