[PROBLEM] UI resolution (RCA)

[AndzinSan]

Hi, I am not sure if i understand your problem correctly, bud I gues that I had same problem. I use my Rpi with analog video output (from yelow cinch to scart in PAL) and interface was "reduced" (BTW: I use only default confluence skin). I do some "investigate" and found cause and solution.
Here is two screens, first is default skin confluence without modifications on PAL TV with resolution 720*576px. Second one is confluence skin modified to PAL resolution on PAL TV.

Screens are captured from PC buth with appropriate resolution. Interface looks more baddly on PAL TV than on screens. Fonts are realy hard to read. So I make some modifications on confluence skin and now it looks realy good.

At first you have to skill in xbmc skining. For developing skin on PAL TV you have to change xbmc window resolution in userdata/guisettings.xml, find section window a change it to 720*576, whitch is PAL resolution. Now run XBMC on window mode and you will see xbmc as is on first screen above. Now you have to edit almost all of the skin files until you will have result as you want.

ONE importatn note: depending on your PAL TV size, fonts in XBMC can be unreadable, so you may be have to increase fonts size. I do it for myself.

I am still on work of editation confluence skin, but I can provide what I have done now, but I am using XBMC only for video (movies and shows) so I update only this part of skin (+ system info, dialogs, player controls etc...) and for now I enable only default video/show view so you can not change it.

Here is some screens of edited confluence skin for PAL TV, if you want I will provide a link to download and/or I can start github project for this:

PS: any help in editing is welcome

EDIT: I dont know why, but system dont allow me to post reply with images or links
