Hi,
I have just got back into the htpc setup after 6 years, I left during that time because of (the lack!) WMC support. I have now bought two RPI3's with kodi cases (looking awesome btw), and an HDhome Run network TV tuner. I have also setup all my local media (again!!) for the Movies/TV shows/Music libraries to show up. Everything is looking awesome I hasten to add....apart from one thing
My issue is...
The TV Guide in Estuary.... it is too small LOL, even on a 42" screen, is there any way to make it bigger, or is there a nice looking GUI I have missed that isn't Hardware intensive. If it's a coding fix within the skin, please could you help me out, or even just point me to a better skin although all my media files are looking good in it and don't really want to change.
I have a horrible feeling I might have put this into the wrong thread, so I apologise right now LOL
Unfortunately you can't change the font size in Estuary without modifying the skin. I seem to remember somebody posting a mod of Estuary that had larger fonts throughout, but I can't find it right now. Hopefully someone else will chip in.
you may need to mod my
MyPVRGuide.xml and Font.xml

Thanks guys, will try this later on today so this code goes into BOTH files? am I reading that right? . and I was indeed right, it was in the wrong place LOL sorry about that
I will post to tell you guys how well it's gone.
where do these two files live/go in kodi
I apologise now for the bump of my own thread, I did discover where these files lay (oops! my bad!) I did try out your xml file the_other-guy, unfortunately it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. However it did point me in the right direction. All I really needed was to change the font size of the channel number and the description. These were set to '12' in the original 'MyPVRGuide.xml' I changed those to 17, which worked for both my TVs.
I have posted the xml file here for those that just want to copy/paste the code if they want bigger text on the EPG.
