Simple skin for small display? - pixelriffic - 2014-05-21 I wonder if there are any skins that cater specifically to small displays. I have tried several, and even on a 7" display, the text becomes a bit too small to be practical. I'm looking to build a music appliance that has a screen even smaller. Possibly with the basic navigation buttons on the front panel, or on a remote. I even tried a touch based theme, and it was in the right direction, but still not quite what I was looking for. This Sony device might give some idea of what I mean. http://www.stereophile.com/content/sony-push-hi-rez-downloads%20?page=1 Anyone know of such a theme?

Mind you I think he is mad, but its the kind of mad that seems to produce results. All I would say is to try each one until you find something you don't mind and then modify it.

Simplicity is definitely important, but the font size on these small displays is definitely the key. I will definitely give this one a go! RE: Simple skin for small display? - MassIV - 2014-05-21 You can always tweak the font size yourself. It's not very complicated. In the skin 720p or 1080i folder you can find Font.xml Open with a good editor like Notepad++ (free) RE: Simple skin for small display? - pixelriffic - 2014-05-21 (2014-05-21, 18:04)MassIV Wrote: You can always tweak the font size yourself. It's not very complicated. Any idea where the associated xml file is? It's supposed to be in .xbmc/userdata but I only see the plugin apps there.
