NAME
eboxy - simple GUI creation system
SYNOPSIS
eboxy [options] [
skin-file
]
DESCRIPTION
eboxy
is an application for building user interfaces for set-top boxes,
suitable for use on a TV. It reads an XML file describing a simple GUI
consisting of pages and widgets (buttons, labels, listboxes etc.), and
displays the GUI on the screen.
OPTIONS
eboxy will try to load
eboxy.xml
in the current directory if no
skin-file
is specified.

-
Causes eboxy to run in full-screen mode.
- -x or --width
-
Sets the screen width (default 640).

-
Sets the screen height (default 480).
- -h or --hidecursor
-
Hides the mouse cursor while eboxy is running.
- --bpp

if your display supports 24-bit colour then you should probably specify
