Purpose

• Required:  No
• Type of Change:  Feature

The tvguide now has the ability to handle a new button "Switch TV Group".

Description of Change

These changes are optional to other skins. Without modifcation TV Guide will work as before!

Skins Blue3/wide are extended in: mytvguide.xml, dialogTvGuide.xml.

To optimize the use of available space the new button isaligned vertical left of the channels

There are 2 new (vertical) button backgrounds created: small_vbutton_focus.png / small_vbutton_nofocus.png (done by simple rotation of default small button)

A new tag #TV.Guide.ChangeGroup: Contains the button label, built internally from String 971 ('Group'): Tv Group Name (i.e. in german 'Gruppe: ARD')

Attention: The button and label are separated, because rotated buttons don't focus properly!

Button's control id: 100
