[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] Text-based skin loader (text2skin-0.0.7)

[Sascha Volkenandt <lists@magoa.net>]

Hi list,

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 0.0.6:
- on devices capable of full-color OSD, bpp's have no meaning anymore
  (but will still work like usual). On such devices, a full-screen 8-bit
  OSD will be used
- new display-item "PresentTextDescription" displays combined
  ShortText/Description
- displaying replay symbols only if information is actually available
- exchanged x, y, width, height with x1, y1, x2, y2 coordinates
  (skin version is now 0.0.3)
- coordinates may be negative to respect dynamic OSD settings
  (negative coordinates give pixels from the right or bottom edge)
- added base parameter to Skin item to be able to use full screen in absolute
  mode
- added a script to convert 0.0.2 skins to 0.0.3
- added parsing quoted texts (path="Bla.jpg" etc. will work correctly now)
- fixed translator to escape the dollar sign
- fixed display of scrollbar (REALLY!)
- fixed linkage of libMagick++

The demo skin has been updated to the new skin version, too. 

You can convert old skins to skin version 0.0.3 using the skin_to_003.pl 
script located in the contrib subdirectory of the plugin:
mv MySkin.skin MySkin.skin.0.0.2
skin_to_003.pl < MySkin.skin.0.0.2 > MySkin.skin.0.0.3

You can find skins for this plugin on:
