Any chance of a larger font? 22'' LCD at 720p while laying in bed, it's like trying to tell apart one ant from another, so so tiny!

take a look in the

skin/Rapier/720p directory, specifically the file named Font.xml . You can modify the sizes of the various fonts there.

Brilliant, will do! thanks Smile

just implemented the 4x3 code from Transparency font.xml and of course the fonts themselves. Looks much much better, so much easier on the eyes hehe Smile

thanks!

Rather than hack into the Font.xml to get larger fonts, it will be a better idea if the user can chgane the font sizes within the skin. This can be implemented as a skin option with a listing of the font descriptions and size options.

That would be sooo excellent if this is possible.. Smile

That's what i did... You can choose between the default font, Arial 4x3 & default 4x3. Sure i can upload it. Just give me a minute and i'll figure something out :-)

Yes, would love that too. Other skins already have it and although my HD-ready plasma is 42", it has a strange resolution 1024 x 1280 (no I did not put that in reverse) which causes letters become too thin.

Would also appreciate a link, I'm using the skin on an XBOX on a non HD resolution screen and the fonts just slightly too small at times.

I think this is what you're after...

haven't tried it with the newest rapier yet though...

Thanks seems to work ok but it messes up the video library appearance too much for my liking.

I'm gonna have a play around in a few days and see if I can come up with a font combination that looks good and is still readable on a non hd display. I'll post the results here for other XBOX owners depending on how it goes.
