Improve guide number layout - edit4ever - 2017-07-29
I have a mix of over the air channels with subchannels and stream channels. In the current Estuary channel numbers will get cutoff in the guide if there are 2 characters on either side the subchannel decimal. And 4 channel numbers seem to get cutoff as well. On top of this - the alignment is center - which means the decimal point moves around based on the numbers before and after the decimal. This seems hard to read to me.
I've created a modification to the guide numbers that check for subchannel number and if there - instead of centering the number, it centers based on the deicmal point. I've also increased the channel number space slightly to accomodate the 4 digit channel numbers. The mod looks like this:
And the code change in Includes_PVR.xml is this:
Code:
<control type="label">
<left>2</left>
<top>-2</top>
<width>110</width>
<height>60</height>
<font>font32_title</font>

<aligny>center</aligny>

</focusedchannellayout>Maybe this could be incorporated into the standard Estuary skin??

I'm surprised channel numbers more than 4 characters hasn't been addressed yet on this skin.
@kodi Team- Please increase the width of the channel numbers or decrease the font size when the channel numbers doesn't fit.
