PLi® specific widgets and functions for skins

Pli development tools for you to use

Gerneral details

eProgress description

Introduced alphatest property. When set to "on" the progress part of the progress bar will be left transparent. This allows the background image to appear when the progress bar fills. Set the background image using the 'pixmap' skin attribute. eProgress also supports a 'sliderpixmap' attribute, which configures an image to move along the progress bar, like a slider. Add volume_bar skin variable to get a eProgress/eGauge for the volume indicator in the infobar. When volume_bar is defined in the skin it will be shown on the infobar OSD (and the standard volumebar will be left hidden). When the OSD is not visible and volume is changed, the standard volumebar is shown.

eGauge description

Same as eProgress but show a marker line as a circular postion (percentage of circle). The background of the eGauge is transparent so a nice image can be put behind it, or alternatively the background can be set with the 'pixmap' skin attribute.

- The start parameter indicates start and end offset in degrees for the marker. It is drawn just against the border of the eGauge area.
- The 'sliderpixmap' parameter can be used to use a png file as marker instead of the line.

Note: The slider pixmap itself will not be rotated. So it is best to use a circular picture.

EPG Colours

Here are the colours for MultiEPG :

baseColor = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.base.background");
entryColor = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.entry.background");
entryFgColor = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.entry.foreground");
entryColorSelected = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.entry.background.selected");
timeBgCol = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.time.background");
timeFgCol = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.time.foreground");
serviceBgCol = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.service.background");
serviceFgCol = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.service.foreground");
descriptionBgCol = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.description.background");
descriptionFgCol = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.description.foreground");
timelineColor = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.timeline");
timelineNowColor = eSkin::getActive()->queryColor("epg.timeline.now");
entry::inTimer = eSkin::getActive()->queryImage("timer_symbol");
entry::inTimerRec = eSkin::getActive()->queryImage("timer_rec_symbol");

Mirakels says the specific color is a default color but it is possible to overrule it from the esml from that
specific skin which is placed in the map

var/tuxbox/config/enigma/skins/******.esml

You have to add a line in that specific esml. For instance -

<map name="eServiceSelector.highlight.epg.foreground" color="rood" />

gives a red highlighted text.

If rood (red) is not yet defined, you first have to do this.
Basically you can pick any color you like if it is defined in the esml.

Widget positions/size

can be specified as a percentage of the parent widget: e.g.

(c)positions/(c)size have been extended with an optional 'c' specification. The 'c' takes the center postion of the parent (client)rectangle. Use it in the same way as the 'e' specification. To center a widget of 500 by 300 pixels: position="c-250:c-150" size="500:300".

Relative position indicators ('e' and 'c') can now also be used in the section, for *.pos.x and *.pos.y values
Most osd info items can be used more than once. This way you can for example show the channel name in both the mini- and maxi-zap modes, or in fact even multiple times in the same widget, if you like.

See the MediaPLi skin for examples, all features are used.
