OSD skinning

[Gibbah]

Hi,

 

Im currently customizing the default OSD skin. I edit the images and change stuff in the xml-files. But, there are some stuff that I can not find in any of the xml-files.

For example, in the EGP time-line view there is a background image for the channel-logo and channel-lable. I can not find any reference to this in the myepgchannel.xml where the rest of the stuff for that view is located. Does this mean I can not make changes to that element (backgroundimage) or is it set in some other file somewhere?

 

I have tried the SkinEditor but I can not open any exsisting skin in it. Is there any default SkinEditor-project somewhere so you can see how stuff work?

 

Best regards,

 

Gibbah

The background image files for timeline buttons are named:

• button_light_left
  
• button_light_middle
  
• button_light_right
  
• button_left
  
• button_middle
  
• button_right
  
• button_selected_left
  
• button_selected_middle
  
• button_selected_right
  

You can't define them with the editor, the filenames are predetermined by DVBV. All you can do here is replacing the files in the "Images" folder of the skin. To change the position, move the "channel logo" and the "channel label template". It's a little bit tricky to edit the skin of the timeline window. It's difficult to explain this exactly, just try it out

 

To open a skin with the skin editor, just open the mainfolder, where the skin files are located.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

 

I have downloaded a couple of skins and when I try opening them in the SkinEditor (the folders where the .skin-files are) I allways get "This is not a valid Skinproject".

You open the wrong folder. Look at the pic, which folder of a skin you have to open.
