(5) Channel names (leftmost column in the grid) are not shown in a different colour, and this does worsen intelligibility (depends on the horizontal scroll position relative to the on-now programmes). This differs from the normal EPG (with 'uncoloured' EPG buttons), where the EPG cell for the programme is displayed in red, whether it is on now, or on later (and this is my preference). (4) When a programme scheduled to record is 'on now', a fourth colour is introduced into the EPG - the cell is displayed with a black background. Nevertheless, on balance I prefer the entire EPG cell to be coloured red, as it makes it easier to see where recordings start and end.

Now I recognise that this actually conveys more information, since a one-off recording has a single red dot, while a series recording has a sequence of three overlapping dots. (3) Programmes scheduled to record are flagged in the EPG, but by means of a 'red dot' at the end of the EPG cell. the theme colour does affect legibility (see below). (Aside: turquoise is my most favourite colour! ) However.

(2) The colours used by Amped are excellent! The three categories of EPG cell ('focused', 'on now', and 'not on now') are all displayed in a colour from the turquoise area of the spectrum, but are sufficiently different to make them easily distinguished. DefaultWide and Titan use colours that are different from Amped, and different from each other. (1) The colours used for this setting seem to be specifiable by the skin. (Aside: for those who are not native English speakers, see here: 's_egg.) Some points: The result is (like the Curate's egg) 'good in parts'. Thank you!Д¬lick to expand.I had not tried that setting before, so I have been using it for the past few days. Is it possible to change these colours? If so, what do I need to change? I would like to try some different colours to find what would be a suitable match for the 'Wine Glass' theme. AMPed does seem to use different shades for (2) and (3), but the difference is so slight as to be virtually invisible! And I would also like (1) to be more conspicuous than it currently is. In the DefaultWide skin, (1) is displayed in blue, (2) is displayed in green, and (3) is displayed in very dark grey. What I want to change are the colours of the grid cells for: I did briefly try coloured genres, but for me that adds little value.

The first modification that I would like to make is to the colour of the grid cells in the TV and Radio EPGs. I am happy making changes to XML files, but need some guidance on what to change. But now that I have been using MP/aMPed for a few months, there are several customisations that I would like to make.

When I first started using MP and aMPed, I decided that I would not modify any of the skin files, in order to make migrating to each new release as simple as possible.
