Description
This page is about a branch of the GraphLCD plugin with built-in support for skins. The GraphLCD plugin integrates a graphical display into VDR and make it possible to control VDR even if the television is off.
The branch was started by Andreas 'powarman' Regel but was then abandoned and given to new maintainers by his request.
The functionality of this branch is rather impressive but unfortunately the code is hardly documented.
So this page will be used as a starting point for collecting and formatting its features. Thus this page will be started being a pigsty and improved 'along the way'.
