[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] Text-based skin loader (text2skin-0.0.4)

[Sascha Volkenandt <lists@magoa.net>]

Hi!

Sorry for bothering each two days, but:
http://www.magoa.net/linux/index.php?view=text2skin

This plugin is designed to load and interpret a set of files describing the
layout of the On Screen Display and to make this "Skin" available to VDR via
Setup -> OSD in the main menu. Of course it is possible to load more than one
text-based skin this way and to choose between them while running VDR. All
skins may be themeable (you can create your own color-theme) and translateable
as the author of the skin wishes.

CHANGES since 0.0.3:
- added parameter alpha for images
- added ReplayMode as Logo to display a replaylogo (normal, vcd, mp3, 
dvd, ...)
- added some german and finnish (thx to Rolf Ahrenberg) translations
- fixed VPSTime which was displayed although is was equal to the StartTime
- fixed MenuItems which displayed non-Text items periodically
- fixed calculation of the editable width in the main menu
- fixed animation delay (specified in 1/100th, used 1/1000th)
- flushing cache when entering a new display (now the cache basically holds 
all items necessary in one display)
- removed "flush image cache" from setup menu
- added "max. cache size" to setup menu


Some NOTES on compiling / viewing bugs:
- (Compiler) on some debians you have to add -lMagick to the line LIBS += 
-lMagick++ in the Makefile, since debian's ImageMagick doesn't do that on its 
own.
- (Viewing) if images are not loaded correctly, and ImageMagick is 
self-compiled, make sure that libpng and libmng (and corresponding -dev or 
-devel packages) are present BEFORE running configure of ImageMagick. If not, 
make sure that is so, and build ImageMagick again.
- (Viewing) VDR versions < 1.3.10 cause some trouble. Please update :-)

Greetings,
Sascha
