  • uncomment out the vix line in skin.xml


    <include filename="extras.xml" />

    <!-- <include filename="vix.xml" /> -->

    <include filename="toppicks3.xml" />


    your skin folders live here

    /usr/share/enigma2/

    ** A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected **

  • no 😚

    But I have now, which has corrected Backup manager, Imagemanager, Install Local extension, Mount Manager & Swap manager. Also Cron timers.


    Autotimer, Timer & Power timers screens are still as before very small and difficult to read

  • To resolve the issues I have had with Autotimers & Timers not displaying correctly on the latest OpenVIX image builds,

    It would seem there’s a conflict reading timers.xml within slyk-1080-r19/ Skin folder


    To get around this I have simply renamed timers.xml to timers1.xml


    And replicated the change within skin.xml

    <include filename="timers1.xml" />


    which has had the desired result now Timers & Autotimers appear full screen

  • eh???


    Another skin cannot conflict with the xml files in this skin folder. That's a new one to me.

    There should be no real reason to do this.

    But if it works for you. Then no need for me to worry about it.

    ** A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected **

  • thanks sorted, only need help to fix the software update menu

  • eh???

    Guess I was just clutching at straws,

    But for whatever reason timers.xml file that resides in the skin folder has a conflict somewhere in OpenVIX image


  • Do you know how to turn on debug logs.

    If so. Turn on debug logs.

    Reboot your gui and go to the software update screen.

    Then check your latest debug log which will tell you what this screen is called.

    I don't use vix so no idea what this screen is called on VIX (and its been quite a while since I did any skinning work)

    ** A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected **

  • hi KiddaC i believe that uncommenting that also fixed the software update menu, as it looks bigger now. i will check again when there's a new vix software update. check the attached pic. thanks

  • I remember now. This screen clashes with all other builds as it uses a choicebox for the screen.

    Therefore fixing this screen might break any other screen that uses a choicebox. ( a list where you press the numeric keypad to select things)


    You can try this file. It might fix this screen, but might break other screens.
