Change coler and size of picture

[bbo]

Hello..

I am very inexperienced in making the OSD but is eager to learn something about it.

I have a WDTV live where I have installed B-rad software 1.02.21_WDLXTV_0.4.7.3 and activated sheetmode and it works perfectly.

For starters I would like to change the picture that shows what movies are selected in the list of movies at the bottom of my TV. By default it is light blue and I want to do it in a different color like maybe Red or something and I would like it in a different size.

I know how to change the color of the picture by creating a new PNG file, but I can not figure out how to resize it, and what XML file that need to be changed.
I've tried to make a larger PNG image, but it will apparently automatically Scaled down to its original size.

I hope you understand what I mean. This text is made into Google Translate so I hope you understand any of it.

here's how I find xml's

open telnet/ssh

Code: Select all

tail -f /tmp/dmaosd.log

then browse to the screen you want to work on
then exit the screen
dmaosd.log will log an entry abc.xml was popped

that's the xml to edit

KAD - Thanks for the quick reply.

For some reason I can't open telnet/ssh. I use "root" as username but it won't let me in. Do you have some other ideas?

have you set a password?
ssh only works if a password has been set
there's telnet/ssh tips on the wiki

also if need be there's an app.bin for resetting passwords if needed

also in the beguiners guide on creating osd's , psychothc had a method for finding xml's that was different
you could try his method as well

the actual image itself will be adjusted to fit the size you have written in the xml, so changing the image to a different size won't do anything.
if you are editing for movies you'll need to look at inc_video_thumb_browse.xml

in there change the width and height of the thumb_active section

Code: Select all

<table x="202" y="83" w="922" h="258" cols="4" rows="1" colspacing="2" align="hcenter">
    <image image="@@thumb_active_0" w="179" h="258" scale="100"/>
    <image image="@@thumb_active_1" w="179" h="258" scale="100"/>
    <image image="@@thumb_active_2" w="179" h="258" scale="100"/>
    <image image="@@thumb_active_3" w="179" h="258" scale="100"/>
  </table>

  <table x="202" y="364" w="922" h="258" cols="4" rows="1" colspacing="2" align="hcenter">
    <image image="@@thumb_active_4" w="179" h="258" scale="100"/>
    <image image="@@thumb_active_5" w="179" h="258" scale="100"/>
    <image image="@@thumb_active_6" w="179" h="258" scale="100"/>
    <image image="@@thumb_active_7" w="179" h="258" scale="100"/>
  </table>

remember, as you change the width and height, you'll need to adjust the x and y and also colspacing so it will line up right.

good luck
