last couple of days, I have found an interesting problem. The<br>
slightly modified version of the MythCenter-wide theme that I am using<br>
works OK at 3840x2160, but wastes a lot of usable space due to having<br>
huge text. At 1920x1080 on my old 32" 1080p TV, the text size was<br>
good at my watching distance of 2.2 metres. But now it is quite a bit<br>
larger than it needs to be, and if it could be made smaller a lot more<br>
data could be fitted on to the screen, such as many more recordings on<br>
the recordings list. But I have been unable to find any themes that<br>
are designed for a 4K 3840x2160 screen size. Does anyone know of any?<br>
<br>
It looks like it would be quite a difficult job to modify<br>
MythCenter-wide to work well at 4K, as virtually all the numbers in<br>
the theme files would need to be altered in the right proportions. How<br>
do theme designers do this sort of thing - is it just by tediously<br>
going through all the files and manually making the changes and<br>
testing them?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>At some point I may create a "Steppes-small" theme for large TVs. Until then, one thing you can play with is "GUI Text Zoom Percentage" under Setup -> Appearance -> Theme / Screen Settings. With the Steppes theme, 80 to 85 works pretty well on my big TV. A value of 100 represents the theme designer's chosen font size. Note: you do have to completely restart mythfrontend for that setting to take effect.<br></div><div><br></div><div>John <br></div></div></div>
