hei John I hope you find out how to change the lcd2 plugin for your needs. if you dig the code, you will find how the display size is coded.
the clock and status informations are placed on the right end of the top line, probably you will have to change this position (+2). in the code you will find as well, how to controll the lcd with python commands... its allways helpfull to test the features of the lcd in the python shell... I wrote the plugin just for my needs, but maybe it is possible to merge your version with mine...? unfortuneately I have freevo not startet at the moment, but I will check the code the next time I get time for it.
