Hehe, I understand it. :) So you do not made such a skin, right?
You are a professional skinner so do you know how difficult work is to modify the current skin to use the virtual zap in graphical epg mode also not just in info bar mode?
There is an option in graphical epg settings called "picture in graphic", if it is set to "no" then the channel preview is in full screen background else if it is yes then the preview is a minitv in the corner of the epg and the background is blank. I hope it can combine somehow with the virtualzap function to show both.
