Greater characters

DMD · Post by **DMD** » 2005-06-26 21:30:16

I am new of the forum and since I use the Home Theater PC, I kindly wanted to know if the characters can be modified, or rather to make them greater, particularly in the section "description", in such way to be been able to be visible to a certain distance from the screen.

Cordially I thank

You can do that by editing the translation file:
- If you use the program, force it to use english translation rather than build-in language (which is english too

), to to Tools -> Languages and select "english for translations"
- Edit the file english.lng (or the language that you use), near the end of the file you'll find line beginning with an "E" followed by the field names:

EMedia.Hint=|Media label, number or barcode
EMediaType.Hint=|Media/support type
ESource.Hint=|Source (where/how you got this movie)
EDate.Hint=|Date when the movie was added to the list

etc.

Copy a line, replace the .Hint=... by a .Font.Size=... like this:

EDescription.Hint=|Description
EDescription.Font.Size=16

I will try your instructions.

Is it possible also change the font color, font style (bold, italic, etc.), area background color with this trick.

.Font.Color for the text
.Color for the background

It is coded as BGR (blue-green-red)
The value can be get with (blue * 65536) + (green * 256) + (red)
where blue, green and red are value between 0 and 255.
