TV programme Planner Background Appearance

Are there plans to provide more options to the high contrast colours, currently it’s pretty much just black & white, a choice of brighter colours would be useful.

The current High Constrast option is there as an assessobilty feature (along with features such as zoom) to assist in reading the information.

Screen and Guide Customization controlled by the user has not featured very highly in Youview and EETV development to date.

As far as I can see, that only offers an ON or OFF option.

Being able to choose a background colour such as the yellow from the EE logo would benefit me personally.

I'm intrigued by this. Has any other TV platform ever offered an option to customise the colour scheme?

Probably not, although they most likely had something brighter to begin with.

@DarrenDev

YouView boxes customise the colour scheme they use according to if you are on BT/EE, TalkTalk, or some other ISP.

Though this is just the ordinary contrast presentation.

And of course, there’s no documented way that a user could override this.
