I have a request: is it possible to adjust the width and height of the ButtonTemplates?

The current entries are e.g.:

<widget source="key_blue" render="Label" position="1010,643" size="220,28" backgroundColor="darkgrey" etc.

could this be changed in:

<widget source="key_blue" render="Label" position="1010,643" size="230,56" backgroundColor="darkgrey" etc.

So changing the 220,28 into 230,56

This gives some more space for the descriptions and if the width is still too small there is a linewrap. I think the skin offers this space to do so.

 

What do you think about that?

You mean the other colours?

If so yes they are all 220,28

Then this is not a solution....

And with the FullNight skin? is that possibly better....?

Sorry I think I don't understand exactly what you mean.

If all occurrences of 220,28 are replaced with 230,28 or even 220,56 what are the negative consequences? I think the room is available to at least widen the entry to 230.

 

I want to make some templates for the skin_plugins.xml and saw that some translations are a bit too long to fit in the description

Then shoot do the same for all buttons..
But at this moment I'm considering to stop the support for the current standard skin... So for improvements I suggest it is better to comment on the fullnight version...

The first screen is the standard size of 220 x 28 and is truncating some text (at the blue button)

In the next screen the size is upgraded to 230 x 56 and showing the complete text without interfering with other screen elements

Eventually the size could by made 230 x 28 if you don't want line wrapping (although in the above example it is also not enough to show the complete sentence)
 
As I understand from littlesat it has no use to make screens for skin_plugins.xml as it isn't supported anymore?
The Pli-HD-Fullnight is (getting) the standard skin?
 
Will there be also a skin_plugins for supporting various plugins?

 

 

So for improvements I suggest it is better to comment on the fullnight version...

Well my request is also valid for the Pli-HD-Fullnight skin

Perhaps Liitlesat can merge it from my Git..https://github.com/d...91c323f0c9ed0ca
Your backup plugin screen looks okay in dutch in Pli-Full-HD-Night with text in you plugin..one can also change the text size without usin the templates

I made the French translation a little shorter from "Restaurer une sauvegarde" to "Restaurer sauvegarde", now it should fit.

 

As far as I'm concerned you could skip the avatar, now it is lowered and truncated. Still thinking what I could do with the space ;) because a black screen with only the colour buttons is a bit dull.

 

I'm curious this new Pli-Full-HD-night screen is developed  to use more of the screen I suppose but why not use the full potential and assign some more space for the colour buttons so using the most possible space.

 

(BTW: The menu button isn't in use in above screenie)

There are only 4 colour buttons.....
And they can all allow for more text.

The night skin does not allow more hight... But the buttons can be made a bit wider...
It so preferable to think about te available space when you made translations. Buttons do have in fact limited space...

Good

My opinions and advice.
 
It's an old story. 
This happens because the translators do not take into account the length added to the text in relation to the English language. 
 
It's all a question of compromise 
But Skinner can not take into account the length of the various translations 
It can only those who translate. 
 
I've seen translations that are so long that the button should be 
500 points long end the English text is only one word.
 
This drastically reduces the graphic quality of the skin 
in most cases,overloading graphics with text or informations.
 
Sure to leave a little more space for the button text but do not make the flag of a button.
