replace header background image

[ronie]

this is a cleanup of #3940

it replaces the header background texture in a number of places, to improve readability.

for @universal

Nice!

[MartijnKaijser]

Better indeed

[un1versal]

Yes indeed, That's what I was working towards, 👍

About the header label font types? All dialogs use font13_title except settings/info/profile. Because however font13_title is shorter doesn't look as good throughout.

Would you like me to have a stab at these and make them all font16? And if so the dialogheader.png now also needs to stretch to 52 because this texture is set at 40 in these other places too.. there's quite a few more of these though ;-)

In any case this is 20 steps in right direction, thank you @ronie.

@ronie

To my comments above to this PR I pulled your changes into a branch and added my changes ontop.
Neither a PR in any case its so you can see and review. without saturating emails.

• dialogheader.png height to 52 as per ronie PR
• Header Label font unification atm thers font13_title (which looks bleh in some dialogs) and font16 which looks great in all
• Them applying both of those ideas throughout skin.

un1versal@68dccb4 refines the header label fonts in weather and fixes alignment (somehow 20 was a bit too low)

un1versal@6744513 Really takes this a step further and looks at what I could find, that was sort of applicable to the points above.
One note is that perhaps some dialog types dont need dialogheader height to 52 though would benefit from font16.
This one needs testing and checking,

• PVR dialogs changes because I cant test PVR dialogs.
• Peripherals Dialogs because I dont have any that trigger those either.

I dondt wanna make a commnet without showing what I was looking at.

In general +1, but not sure I like it in it's current state. Settings header is visually better, but the font should be aligned left as it's no window header (not spanning the entire window), plus it would "jump" less when you switch settings sections. But that's probably just my taste.
And at least form the screenshots the weather headers don't look like headers anymore - the visual distinction is a bit too subtile IMO. Readability is ofc ways better. Maybe give the dividing bottom line more opacity and make it reach further to the left and right edges (probably stretch the subtle background color to same width)?

[ronie]

@da-anda the label is centered because the highlight is also centered. it looks better that way imo.
there's no jumping involved btw, when you switch settings categories, the panel will zoom out/in.

i've updated the image as you suggested:

@UniversaI the fonts on the dialogs should remain as they are.
the dialog header label can be very long and with a bigger font it might not fit anymore.

And if so the dialogheader.png now also needs to stretch to 52 because this texture is set at 40 in these other places too

nope, you can't compare the size of an image on a fullscreen window to the same image in a small dialog.
they should be in proportion.

Just to add from a design point of view, it looks good centered to me.

[da-anda]

good for me now, thanks @ronie (the only thing I don't like now is the way too big weather provider logo overlaping everything, but that's a different story)

[ronie]

tweaked the weather stuff as suggested (smaller logo, better alignment of header label)
