Just EPG Vs 17 SKINS and FONTS.

Originally posted by jpp Ah, use the OK key - sorry, the keys used to edit/enter this particular Menu option is a bit different, although you can always use the OK key to advance the count on any Menu item.   You'll also note that the |< and >| keys cycle through alpha characters as well. It cycles through the whole alphanumeric alphabet and includes commas, curley braces etc etc, not that you need any of these bar the comma.   What were you original number(s) Rob? I ask because mine were originally set manually in my ini file via FTP. Once I have your entry, I'll set mine the same and have a fiddle with it - maybe then I have a better idea of what the problem might be.   So far, I've found that once you get the first number right, say the number 1, use the right arrow key to the next position, and then use the OK or |< and >| buttons to create the next digit. Now shift to the right again, use the same keys to create the comma, and so on.

Thanks Phil, easy when explained that I needed to set 1 and then 0 and then the comma etc rather than expecting that I could toggle up from 9 to 10.

Having done that my next problem is that I can't toggle to 10 reliably, sometimes only getting to 7 and then looking to lock the menu, though Exit works, to get the font settings on page 0, page 1 etc to show Font size 10.

Thanks Phil, I can now see the nicer new font and just have to work out how to get the font size toggle working. I was using OK to increase the font number setting for each Page.

The key was renaming the font files 10.fnt and 12.fnt not 10.pnt and 12.pnt as mentioned by you earlier in this topic and in the first post on the TAP itself.

Edit
Now all working correctly. I had A/R set for both skin toggle and font toggle so by setting the former to None it now all works - though I'm hardly likely to use 12pt so I my end up jut not bothering with the font toggle button in any event. The 10pt Arial narrow on a 50" plasma is more than big enough.

Thanks Robert for your skin. Just goes to show that you can make it look exactly to your own liking. Good idea about adding a few space characters to the beginning of the nicknames.

I only changes a few of the colours. The background is 30:30:30 and the channel background & frame is 0:0:0
