Guide Colors
#1
Unlike most, I am trying to remove the genre colors from the guide, or make all of them the same. All the info I can find is for other skins not estuary. I prefer the look of estuary as a whole, so I have been modifying the skin for my own personal use. I've gotten most of what I've wanted changed done successfully by modifying the xmls, but this one thing has me at a loss. Anyone know specifically what I need to change, or at least an idea where to start looking?

Here's what I did to achieve this: https://gist.github.com/rpcameron/eb8707...e9b59b5cc2

Basically it removes the genre coloring from the EPG grid, as well as the timer icons. Then, it changes the grid item's background color to green for completed or in-progress recordings, and red for upcoming timer events.

(It also increases the font size of the channel names and grid items while vertically centering them to increase legibility.)

first you will need to copy theme from Program Files\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary to C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary
this is done in the theme you need kodi texture tool
http://kodi.wiki/view/TextureTool

use to extract all from Textures.xbt
folder needs to be named Textures

one extracted go to folder Textures\windows\pvr\epg-genres this is the epg images

Sorry, but no. Using the relative line numbers and context should be enough. However, I'm not really maintaining the diffs any longer, so they may be quite stale.

just use "the_other_guy" 's mod for pvr guide , he has the best one in my opinion , just a case of over writing a couple of xml files and adding his epg.png to home-images folder , and you cn change the png colours if you want ?

https://nofile.io/f/0g8K6d2ry8W/epg.zip

then add this below to font.xml to give you nice readable guide text size .

the font font37A need to be added to fonts.xml , add this below font37.
  <font>
   <name>font37A</name>
   <filename>NotoSans-Regular.ttf</filename>
   <size>54</size>
   <style>BOLD</style>
  </font>
all above "the_other_guy"'s work.
