| Post subject: | Program Guide Fonts |
I looked for a solution for making the Program Guide fonts larger and didn't turn anything up. This is the solution I came up with. I use the Blue Theme Make a copy of /usr/share/mythtv/themes/blue/ui.xml Edit the original ui.xml changing the font sizes in the groupings that begin <font name> and end </font> I made a ssh connection using Putty and used Midnight Commander (installed via: apt-get install mc) and was able to make a change to the file, save it (without closing it) and then go into the Program Guide to see how the change looked. I could then make another change to the already-opened file. After each change you need to back out of the Program Guide and reenter it to see the changes. The following is a sample of a change I made: <mythuitheme> <window name="programguide"> <font name="title" face="Arial"> <color>#ffffff</color> <dropcolor>#000000</dropcolor> <size>40</size> <size:small>20</size:small> <shadow>3,3</shadow> <bold>yes</bold> </font> |

Ahhh ... perhaps a better tip would have been to simply change the MetaModes option in the XFConfig-4 file Option "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600; 640x480, 640x480;" This made all the fonts more readable. Prior to the change I had specified 640x480 only and things were too small. Sorry about the tip that wasn't really a tip. Maybe this will help a newbie. |
