| Post subject: | Knoppmyth display screen |
Hi guys Thanks for the suggestions, got my DVD working now...... One little problem, my box is using TV out, and is therefore set at 640x480 resolution. But the Knoppmyth backdrop on the fvwm is displayed at 800x600 resolution. Any idea which file I must modify and change to 640x480 to make it look better ???? I am nearly at the point to having a system doing everything working the way I want it, and have the documentation in order to publish soon, it is a great setup with loads of different games and emulators working, and I look forward to sharing the knowledge with you all...... Regards Matt matt@shagshaw.com |

It is really that big of deal? you only see it for a few seconds during boot. All of the mythtv interface should scale to whatever size you are running, but you would most likely have to resize the image to fix the background, but I'm not sure haven't even looked to see how it's being displayed. |

its not a super easy answer.. but this will point you in the right direction. Also if anyone knows an easier way let me know. you need to: Code: apt-get install qiv then edit: Code: vi \home\mythtv\.fvwm and at the end add something like Code: exec qiv -z /home/mythtv/background.png
where background.png is your new background image. you wouldnt have to use qiv if i knew howto make a ".xpm" file.. but since i dont, i made a ".png" file and used qiv. Note: I also edit various places in the .fvwm to change the color of the menu on the desktop. |

Hi Guys Sorry, just found that you cannot use the above convertor without registration...... try iconutils at http://www.popularshareware.com/IconUti ... -1068.html gives you 30 days free trial...... Cheers Matt matt@shagshaw.com |

With gimp 1.2 I could easily create xpm files... a simple 'save as *.xpm' did it. IIRC just had to replace the file in /usr/share/pixmaps named "background.xpm" with my own xpm-background-file. |

Hi Guys Just managed to get WinGIMP going, and have succesfully resized the background picture........ Thanks for all the help....nearly 100% happy now (except I just noticed that Knoppmyth 4.5 is available !!!!) One more little thing, I have found an icon that I want to use in a new menu item. I have modified the relevant .xml menu file with my new option, I can give it a predefined type icon, ie. SETUP, TV or whatever, I just wondered what I have to change or modify to get my new icon displayed...... regards Matt |

I added a calendar entry on the main menu with a custom Icon. in /usr/share/mythtv/mainmenu.xml Code: <button> <type>CALENDAR</type> <text>Our Calendar</text> <action>EXEC /home/mythtv/RunCalendar.sh</action> </button> in /usr/share/mythtv/themes/blue/theme.xml Code: <buttondef name="CALENDAR">
<image>calendar.png</image> <offset>60,35</offset> </buttondef> new Icon is /usr/share/mythtv/themes/blue/calendar.png You'll need to tweek the values in the offset tag to move the icon to the desired part of the button |
