Title: MC11: Theatre View & Multi Zones
Post by: rpalmer68 on March 22, 2005, 06:35:54 am

Could I request 2 things please;

1) A Remote Control button to toggle Zones so I can toggle through them easily in theatre View

2) Something on the theatre view bar at the top to indicate which zone I am currently controlling.

Thanks guys, MC11 just keeps getting better!

Cheers
Richard

You can do #2 by editing the "main.xml" file in the appropriate "FullSkins" subdirectory.  Add an item in the TEXT section with the keyword "[Zone]".

Thanks - Easy when you know how... well sort of!

I'm not too up on XML, so have changed the line to read

<Item Text="[Zone] : [Time]" Location="***" TextColor="FFFFFF" Rect="90.0,0.2,99.0,5.4" Capitalization="0" Alignment="1" />

Which puts "Zone 1 : 14:30"  on the right, but it has reduced the font size down.  I assume this has something to do with the Rect="90.0,0.2,99.0,5.4" bit??  How is this set?

Also what does Location="***" do?

Thanks
Richard

The numbers represent percentages of the screen from left to right and top to bottom.  90 to 99, for example.
