    **New Features & Improvements**
    - **PropertyGrid category collapse**
    The '0 XML attributes' category is now automatically collapsed by default, keeping the property view tidy and focused on standard attributes.
    - **Shift+arrow key movement**
    Holding Shift while moving a widget with arrow keys now moves by 10 pixels instead of 5, allowing faster repositioning. Ctrl+arrow remains 1 pixel for fine tuning.

    **New Features & Improvements**

    - **Auto-update version comparison fix**
    The update check now correctly compares semantic versions using `System.Version`. Previously any version difference (even if the online version was older) would trigger an update request. Now the update is offered only when the online version is strictly greater than the installed one.

    **Bug fixes & improvements**


     - **Rulers positioning**

    The horizontal ruler is now correctly placed below the designer toolbar, no longer overlapping the "Marker", "Show all" and other toolbar buttons.


    - **Rulers translation**

    The "Rulers" button in the designer toolbar is now fully translatable using `GetTranslation`. Added the `Rulers` key to all language files.


    - **Marker label translation**

    The "Marker" label now uses `AutoSize = true` so that translated text (e.g. Italian "Marcatore") is no longer cut off.


    - **Event handler cleanup**

    Removed duplicate event subscriptions for `Shown`, `ResizeEnd`, `panelDesigner.Resize` and `panelDesignerInner.Scroll`. Only named methods are used, preventing double execution.


    - **Template names**

    Template file names in the "Template" menu are not translated – they remain as physical file names to avoid confusion.


    - **General code cleanup**

    Redundant lambda expressions removed, event handlers consolidated for better maintainability.


    - **Fixed NullReferenceException on skin load**

    The application no longer crashes when opening skins that are missing the `<colors>` or `<fonts>` nodes (e.g., skins that rely on `<include>` references). Fallback colors are automatically used when the skin XML is incomplete.


    - **Improved XML parsing robustness**

    Added null checks for critical XML nodes (`colors`, `fonts`, `output`) in `cDataBase`. The parser now logs warnings and continues with default values instead of throwing exceptions.


    - **Better include file handling**

    Missing `<include>` files are now skipped gracefully, with a warning logged to the console, preventing unexpected crashes when a skin references external files that are not present.


    - **Display skin resolution in window title**

    The main window title now includes the current skin resolution in parentheses (e.g., `Aglare-FHD (1920x1080)`). The resolution is also shown next to the skin name in the toolbar. A fallback resolution of `1280x720` is used when the skin XML does not specify one.


    - **General stability**

    The application is now more resilient to malformed or incomplete skin files, ensuring a smoother user experience even with custom or legacy skins.

    - **Rulers stay put during zoom/scroll**


    Rulers are now fixed during zoom and scroll operations. They only reposition when the main window or designer panel is resized, ensuring consistent alignment.

    - **Rulers button state fixed**


    The "Rulers" toggle button now correctly reflects whether rulers are visible. Rulers are automatically hidden when a skin is closed.


    - **Event handler cleanup**


    Removed duplicate event subscriptions to prevent double execution and improve performance.


    - **General code improvements**


    Targeted refactoring for better maintainability and stability.

    ## 📋 Summary of Changes


    ### 1. `sAttributeLabel.cs`


    - Added properties: `ShadowColor`, `ShadowOffset`, `Ellipsis`, `Truncate`, `LineHeight`, `FontScale`, `WrapMode`

    - Added `WrapModeValue` public property exposing internal `_wrapMode`

    - Added `WrapModeConverter` for UI dropdown (noWrap / wrap / ellipsis)

    - Added `ParseWrap()` method supporting: `noWrap`, `off`, `0`, `wrap`, `on`, `1`, `ellipsis`, `2`

    - Added `ParseFontScale()` method supporting `size;N` and `width;N` formats

    - Constructor reads `fontScale`, `wrap`, `ellipsis`, `truncate`, `lineHeight`, `shadowColor`, `shadowOffset` from XML

    - Fixed `FormatException` on `wrap="ellipsis"` by using `ParseWrap()` instead of `Convert.ToUInt32()`


    ### 2. `sGraphicFont.cs`


    - Updated constructors to accept: `shadowColor`, `shadowOffset`, `ellipsis`, `truncate`, `lineHeight`, `wrapMode`, `fontScaleType`, `fontScaleValue`

    - Added private fields: `_wrapMode`, `_fontScaleType`, `_fontScaleValue`

    - Implemented `wrapMode == 2` → `StringTrimming.EllipsisWord` (RT_ELLIPSIS)

    - Implemented `fontScaleType == 1` → override `pSize` with `_fontScaleValue`

    - Implemented `fontScaleType == 2` → horizontal compression via `Graphics.ScaleTransform()`

    - Applied `lineHeight` to text rectangle

    - Added shadow rendering with `shadowColor` and `shadowOffset`

    - Added **absolute fallback**: if `pFont` is null, use `System.Drawing.Font("Arial", ...)`

    - Added **color fallback**: if `pColor` is null or transparent, use `Color.Yellow`


    ### 3. `sGraphicLabel.cs`


    - Added `ParseFontScaleFromString()` helper

    - Updated all `new sGraphicFont(...)` calls to pass: `wrapMode`, `scaleType`, `scaleValue`

    - Now reads `pAttrLabel.WrapModeValue`, `pAttrLabel.FontScale`, `pAttrLabel.ShadowColor`, `pAttrLabel.ShadowOffset`, `pAttrLabel.Ellipsis`, `pAttrLabel.Truncate`, `pAttrLabel.LineHeight`


    ### 4. `sAttributeSlider.cs`


    - Added `SliderPixmap` property (field, property, and XML constructor parsing)

    - Rendered via `sGraphicSlider`


    ### 5. `sGraphicSlider.cs`


    - Added `sliderPixmap` rendering in `paint()` using `sGraphicImage`

    - Falls back to `foregroundColor` if `sliderPixmap` is not present


    ### 6. `sAttributeListbox.cs`


    - Added properties: `SeparatorLineColor`, `SeparatorLineSize`, `SelectionZoomSize`

    - All fields marked `public` for access from `sGraphicWidget` and `sGraphicListbox`


    ### 7. `sGraphicListbox.cs`


    - Added separator line rendering (`SeparatorLineColor` + `SeparatorLineSize`) inside item loop

    - Added `SelectionZoom` support (font scaling for selected item)


    ### 8. `sAttributeWidget.cs`


    - Exposed new properties: `SeparatorLineColor`, `SeparatorLineSize`, `SelectionZoomSize` through `pListbox`

    - Already supports `FontScale`, `WrapMode` via `pLabel`


    ### 9. `sGraphicWidget.cs`


    - Fixed **background rendering**: now explicitly draws `label.pBackgroundColor` and `label.pBackgroundGradient` **before** calling `sGraphicLabel`

    - Added null checks for `pLabel`, `pPixmap`, `pProgress`, `pListbox`, `pSlider`


    ### 10. `cXMLHandler.cs`


    - Fixed nested include crash: use `Path.GetFileName(fname)` as node name to prevent malformed paths like `skin_..\skin_default.xml.xml`

    - Fixed **double `.xml.xml` extension** in `XmlToFile()`:

    ```csharp

    if (!xmlPath.EndsWith(".xml", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))

    xmlPath = xmlPath + ".xml";

    else if (xmlPath.EndsWith(".xml.xml", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))

    xmlPath = xmlPath.Substring(0, xmlPath.Length - 4);

    ```

    - **Removed include saving** (the block that created `skin_*.xml` copies) to prevent file clutter


    ### 11. `fMain.cs`


    - Added `CleanBackupFiles()` method called in `FormClosing`

    - Cleans all `skinName_*.xml` files and fixes `*.xml.xml` double extensions

    - Keeps only the main skin file


    ### 12. `LicenseManager.cs`


    - Added fallback: if `license.lic` has no HMAC signature but the key is valid, regenerate it with signature


    ### 13. `cConverter.cs`


    - Added new converter classes: `MovieInfo`, `ExtraInfo`, `AudioInfo`, `VideoInfo`, `SubtitleInfo`

    - Automatically creates `output`/`resolution` nodes when changing skin resolution if they don't exist in the XML


    - **Code organization:**

    - Centralized menu/toolbar enable/disable logic into `EnableAllMenusAndToolbars()` and `DisableAllMenusAndToolbars()`

    - Eliminated code duplication across `open()`, `close()`, and `CreateNewSkin()`

    - `MyGlobaleVariables` moved to `OpenSkinDesigner.Structures` namespace for better organization


    - **Include resolver:**

    - Now handles nested `<include>` files with support for `filename`, `file`, `src`, `source`, and `href` attributes

    - Resolves absolute paths `/usr/share/enigma2/...` to relative paths


    - **Full compatibility with OpenATV `skin.py` features:**

    - `shadowColor`, `shadowOffset`

    - `ellipsis`, `truncate`, `lineHeight`

    - `fontScale` (`size;N` / `width;N`)

    - `wrap='ellipsis'`

    - `separatorLineColor`, `separatorLineSize`

    - `sliderPixmap`

    - `entryFontScale`

    - `RT_SCROLL`


    ### Fixed


    - `NullReferenceException` in `sGraphicScreen` when opening WindowStyle designer

    - `DirectoryNotFoundException` when skins folder is missing (added directory creation fallback)

    - Color parser now correctly handles 6-digit `#RRGGBB` colors

    - Alpha channel inversion bug in `sColor` constructor

    - Double `.xml.xml` extension bug in save system

    - Duplicate `skin_*.xml` include files no longer created

    - `foregroundColor="yellow"` and other named colors now work without explicit definition in skin

    - `NullReferenceException` in `cDataBaseResolution.setResolution()` when resolution node was missing

    - Save path now correctly handles absolute file paths (no more double path concatenation)

    - `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` in Preferences by ensuring comboboxes are populated before setting `SelectedIndex`

    - Designer errors in `fPreferences` (missing `using`, `for` loops, uninitialized event handlers)

    - `cmbFallbackFont_SelectedIndexChanged` event handler error (removed unused event)


    ### Translation Files (.lng)


    - Translation files use the format `Key:: Value` where:

    - `Key` is the English text (case-sensitive)

    - `Value` is the translated text

    - Separator is `::` (double colon)


    ### Notes


    - **Preferences designer:** The Preferences form now has full Visual Studio designer support (`fPreferences.Designer.cs`). Do not modify the UI code in `fPreferences.cs`.

    - **Fallback font:** If you experience font loading issues, go to `Settings → Preferences` and select a fallback font from the list. The combo box is automatically populated from the `fonts/` folder.

    - **Exit button:** The toolbar now includes an **Exit** button at the beginning (before "New") for quick application exit.

    - **Font paths:** Absolute font paths (`/usr/share/fonts/...`) are now normalized to file names and searched in the local `fonts/` folder. If the font is not found, the fallback font is used.

    ### v5.1.0.3 by Lululla


    **Font loading & path resolution improvements**

    - **Font loading revamped**


    Fonts are now mapped automatically by filename, eliminating "Font not found" popups and fallback errors. Aliases are created on the fly so any reference to a font file (e.g. `lcd.ttf`) resolves correctly, even if the skin uses the filename instead of the logical name.

    - **Path normalization fixed**


    `getPath()` now checks the skin folder first, preventing double path concatenation and duplicate directory segments. This ensures all resources (images, fonts, includes) are found reliably, reducing spurious `FileNotFoundException` noise in logs.


    - **Cleaner debug logs**


    All font and path lookups now log detailed search steps, making it easier to diagnose missing resources without intrusive message boxes.

    - Added fallback for named colors (`yellow`, `red`, `green`, etc.) when not defined in skin colors table



    - **Preferences redesign:**

    - **Resolution handling:**


    - Automatically creates `output`/`resolution` nodes when changing skin resolution if they don't exist in the XML


    - **Code organization:**
