Hi!
Is it possible that the font in the Scope Skin can be made larger?
In particular, I find that the text/font for the movie plot is still too small in size L.
Thank you for help
Unfortunately, there’s no simple way of achieving this. The idea behind the scope skin is: We take the 21:9 skin and place it in a 16:9 window with the same width, but greater height. This means the whole UI is then scaled down by the skinning engine to fit a 1080p 16:9 window. There’s no trivial way of changing this process other than to code an entirely new scope skin.
The trick here is: We don’t need to maintain another entirely different skin version - which would also be significantly different than the other three. The 16:9, 21:9 and 4:3 skin version all share the same pixel height. Most of the time, only the amount of controls shown horizontally or the horizontal width of some controls have been adjusted to fit the screen.
Would it suffice to add another XL version of the plot text shown in media info views and the OSD info dialogs? The normal info dialogs only show one XL size font already that’s not adjustable.
Oh yes! That would be a wonderful thing! It would be very good if the XL version were significantly different from the L size

It is foreseeable when this XL version will be added?
Thank You
You can already tets it via our staging repository, if you feel comfortable with that. A few minor fixes might be needed though:
- Login via the command line
- Run the following command to add the staging repository:
echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list - Run the following commands to update:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot - Your system should have have received the update.
Please see if the issue is resolved.
I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.
This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.
Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.
Thank you!
I did the update.
However, compared to Size L, there is no change in the font size of the movie plot
Because that one isn’t and won’t be affected 
Okay, misunderstood here.
Ah, sry. Media info views are the views e.g. in the movies section that feature a plot text on screen. The info dialogs are what is shown when you press the info button.
