9. The Edit Skin Screen

This screen allows the look and feel of iGuide to be edited. The colour of various parts of the display screen can be changed, and background images and skin files loaded and previewed.

Key actions:

[OK]: Preview any changes made.

[YELLOW]: Saves the current state of iGuide’s skin and exits; incidentally, this action also causes iGuide to re-parse MP3 files in the iguide directory, so if you want new background music just upload the files and resave the current skin here.

[BLUE]: Exits without saving

Three options are available:

BACKGROUND IMAGE:

All JPEG images in the iguide directory that are the correct size for a background (720x576 pixels) are listed here, along with two other options:

NONE:	Use a solid fill colour (“Logo tint & background” below) instead of a
	background image.
BROADCAST:	Show the currently broadcast programme as a backdrop to iGuide.

Note that pixels on the Toppy screen are not symmetrical. Thus if you are creating an image to use as a background, it is best to create an image of 720x540 for a 4:3 standard screen or 720x405 for a 16:9 widescreen, and then stretch it to 720x576 pixels. Images provided with iGuide are designed for 16:9 screen.

COLOUR (“LOGO TINT & BACKGROUND” in the image above):

Various different parts of the screen can be assigned different colours. Pressing [LEFT/RIGHT ARROW] cycles through:

BAR COLOUR

SELECTED BAR COLOUR

HIGHTLIGHT

SELECTED HIGHLIGHT

TEXT ON BAR

TEXT ABOVE BARS

LOGO TINT & BACKGROUND

As each colour type is displayed its current RGB value is shown. This can be changed by pressing: [1] or [7] (red value up/down); [2] or [8] (green value up/down); [3] or [9] (blue value up or down). At any point press [OK] to preview.
