I do like the idea you suggest about "scrolltext" instead of using "marquee". One directional might be better on the eyes. What ever method you do decide on, it would be very helpful to just place strategic comments into the template so a person that wants to modify the code can easily find the code blocks. Or, if we want to get really crazy, we could fix the template to use a variable which can be configured by UpdateEnigma.sh. We could have a different variable for different areas of the skin (ie; Menu, Channel Info, Timers, etc..)

# defines preferred display method in skin ("text" or "scrolltext" or "marquee") MENU_DISPLAY="scrolltext" CHAN_DISPLAY="marquee" TIMER_DISPLAY="scrolltext"

Here are some more changes required for the substitution method.
Here is a tested and working patch for UpdateEnigma.sh. This patch in conjunction with the previous attachment (enigma-4pre2-display.diff) seems to work fine. The final stage of this patch is now to decide what areas of the skin are going to be substituted and made configurable.
