Pete29871 er... a lot of screens you can press menu to enter the settings and increase the font size.

To do it globally (although this will probably break layouts due to how the screens were designed to fit this font size with English text), you can amend the font values in skin.xml

usr/share/enigma2/[skin name]/skin.xml

<font name="Regular" filename="fonts/slyk-regular.ttf" scale="100"/>

change to scale factor.

If you just want to do it on a particular screen, send me a screenshot of that screen, and I will tell you where that value lives.

Thank you for your reply. I attach the particular screen from the Dream Explorer Plugin. Thanks.

@ Kiddac.....referred for your attention, please. Thanks.

KiddaC , I did mention dream explorer a while back along with file commander (which you do not Like ) but openatv have worked on file commander only thing they seem to recommend but no work done on dream explorer on there side.

Are you interested in performance issues of the skins?

I've been profiling the code a bit (on a ZGemma H.2S) and noticed that the background jpeg for Onyx isn't cached, so it is loaded every time it is needed, adding 0.6 seconds. PNGs are cached, so this would be quicker, although the file would be larger.

Profile for opening the graphical EPG:

2nd (and subsequent) time using a PNG instead of a JPG for the background, cuts the time down from 2.6 to 1.9 seconds:

ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
     1    0.000    0.000    1.911    1.911 /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/InfoBarGenerics.py:2019(openGraphEPG)

Also note that it spends 0.5 seconds resolving filenames. I used a cache to help cut that too, now down to 1.4 seconds:

ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
     1    0.000    0.000    1.433    1.433 /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/InfoBarGenerics.py:2019(openGraphEPG)

I'm still fairly new to Enigma, so I may well have missed stuff. But it might be useful.

UPDATE:

I removed the picon & "channel-icons" section from the top-right (which I don't really need) and got it under 1 second! I'm not sure why they are so slow. (I don't have picons installed.). UPDATE: It turned out that the "channel-icons" are the main problem.

ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
     1    0.000    0.000    0.983    0.983 /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/InfoBarGenerics.py:2019(openGraphEPG)

Bouquets with lots of channels seem to slow down the opening of the EPG too. I'm going to have a look at that now.

UPDATE: It was loading the EPG data for all the channels at once, visible or not. I've changed that and it runs great now - very smooth!

I'll tidy it up a bit and maybe try to get it into OpenATV.

KiddaC I think the background pixmap of the skin is so important it needs to be cached so should be a PNG, or alternatively don't use it for the EPG - just use a solid background colour (which is what I have at the moment).

The channel-icons section I never liked anyway, as I think it shows icons for the current TV channel showing in the PIG, not the event selected in the EPG. I found it confusing - I actually thought it was broken for ages.

Just my opinion though - I'm a bit obsessed with having a fast EPG at the moment.

I'll try to submit patches or something for the other things, once I've figured out where the best place is. (Maybe the OpenATV forum, or a github issue.)

what happened!
