QuickSubtitlesConfigMenu screen resize - why?

[nautilus7]

Hi, what is the purpose of the screen resize inside the QuickSubtitlesConfigMenu screen? I don't see the reason behind it. Also, if you really want to keep it, it would be better to move it to the default skin and remove it from the python code.

In addition, the resize code is only applied when the "fps" text is not set, why is the case for teletext and dvb subtitles. For pango subtitles (what are these???) the resize is not applied! Why?

@littlesat @WanWizard any comment about this? Should I remove the resize feature completely?

I'll pass that on, I have no clue about Enigma's internals...

@littlesat any comment on this? Should I move the resize code to the default skin or even better to remove it completely? Why forcing third party skins to a resized (small) screen?

@littlesat ?

Sorry for the extreme delay... when the FPS is not there the window can be shortened?

[nautilus7]

No problem.

Why forcing all skins to a specific size (height in particular)? Is this the proper way to do it? We could instead add the resize into the default skin, and let third party skins do whatever they like.

Are you asking about the small screen after you press red? If so, that screen has to be activated while in full screen mode. This allows user to alter options and see effects in real time.

I am talking about the QuickSubtitlesConfigMenu. I am sure which is the red button you're talking about, but it doesn't matter.

I understand the necessity of the smaller screen (to be able to see the subs at the same time and check how the settings look like), but the logic is wrong. The resizing shouldn't be forced into the python code. Screen size (with resize or not) should be a choice of each skin.

This screen was never intended to make skinnable anyway

Can you arrange a Merge request?
