  • its is already doing that. I don't skin it so it will be using default.

    Default on your box probably lives here.


    /usr/share/enigma2/display/skin_display.xml

    or somewhere similar. I don't know about VFD skins.

  • I posted on the previous page that I was having an issue with my front LED panel since I updated the Sly Q skin. I also updated to latest OpenVIX.

    I'm not getting "???" but I get what looks like all the pixels are on when the box is off. When it's on, depending on skin I choose, it will look the same or have a 50% size picon with the rest of the screen having all the pixels on.

    The front panel is perfect on the default skins that I've tried.

    I also installed LCD4Linux the other day but didn't know how to use it so gave up.


  • I am using OpenATV 6.4 Image. with slyk-q-1080 skin


    I like to get more then 14 lines on 2nd epg page. It works fine with other skins that comes with the image. Looks like 14 lines are fixed with slyk-q-1080 skin.

    Tried changing it in q-epg.xml but it does nothing.


    Is it possible to get 18 lines, like skins that comes with the images?


    Many thanks

  • q-epg.xml


    <screen name="EPGSelection" position="0,0" size="1920,1080" backgroundColor="mid" flags="wfNoBorder">


    this is the override


    <applet type="onLayoutFinish">self["list"].instance.setItemHeight(45)</applet>

  • Do I just replace it with <applet type="onLayoutFinish">self["list"].instance.setItemHeight(45)</applet>

  • EPGSelection is the screen name you need to look for in that file.

    at the bottom of that screen is the above applet code.

    Delete this entire line

    <applet type="onLayoutFinish">self["list"].instance.setItemHeight(45)</applet>

  • Any skinner could help me to understand how it works a skin im trying to adapt a skin to enigma2.

    Writing a skin from scratch is not easy at first. Even modifying an existing skin can be confusing.

    Are you wanting to write a new skin or modify an existing skin.


    It is much simpler if you work off a base skin.


    default skin live here

    /usr/share/enigma2/skin_default.xml


    default skin graphics live here

    /usr/share/enigma2/skin_default


    Create a new folder in

    /usr/share/enigma2/


    calll it whatever

    /usr/share/enigma2/mynewskin


    copy skin_default.xml ( /usr/share/enigma2/skin_default.xml) to this folder and rename it skin.xml


    copy the inner contents of default skin graphics folder (/usr/share/enigma2/skin_default) to your new skin folder


    You now have a new skin that you can play around with.

    If its your first skin. Highly recommend you design it in openskindesigner first.

  • Good Morning KiddaC, I've installed Slyk Q 1080 on my ZGemma H2S running Wooshbuild 7. Skin is awesome but whenever I install the EPG Tabs mod and reboot the GUI the box just boot loops numerous times then stays on the bootscreen and the box LED display just says -00-. I've tried v2 and v3 of the Mod and both do the same.


    The only way for me to fix it is to replace the EPGSelection.po/pyo files with the originals and hard reboot. Am I doing something wrong?
