check out this guide for openatv, a lot of it can be used as a guide for other images like vix

OpenATV setup guide by KiddaC

It might remind you of a few things that you need to do on a fresh install

select transparent

doesn’t seem to make a difference it’s still white

**KiddaC** · May 4th 2021

To be honest I just tried this on openatv, and I cannot change the picon bg colour.
Mine is transparent. If I select a colour its still transparent. Even if I reboot the box.

Maybe something has changed since I last looked at my skins.

What picon set are you using.
I use sky UK picons as downloaded by e-piconizer plugin.
Are you in the UK.

roadrunner08 · May 4th 2021

Yes in the Uk I use a set by anggel transparent ones

I am currently trying openatv 6.5 and 7.0 and on both the SlyQ skin from this site works (shared-components_1.07 & slyk-a-1080_1.30.2020711) the issue I have is when I install either of the epgplanner-mod_2.0 or epg selection-mod_3.0 it puts the image into a boot loop upon a restart of the box (vu+ solo 4k) I have downloaded fresh copies from the dedicated Sky Q skin page but to no avail. Not sure if these have ever been updated to work above openatv 6.4 or whether the issue is on my box where I am installing on clean images but through openmultiboot on 6.4.

KiddaC Im testing PY3 on OpenVix and im getting odd crashes choosing on yes/no screens. Attathced crash log is choosing a skin. menu, setup, user interface, skin setup then choosing a skin. This crash happens in various places. I have tried slyk-1080-r19 and v-skin 1080

dsayers skinselector has not worked on vix for a long time.

openvix uses different element names for this screen.

openatv skin list is called name="SkinList"
opevix skin list is called source="skins" and a listbox

openatv description text is called source="introduction"
openvix description text is name="description"

even openvix 5.4 the screen doesn't skin as i think openvix deletes the screen if not compatible. So it just uses a fallback screen.

But as I have just noticed a few arguments on openvix github about whether to have fallback screens from iansav and looking through some of the code in openvix default skins nowadays. I wouldn't get your hopes up that my skins continue to be compatible with openvix.

Too many images nowadays all doing their own thing. This isn't much common code any more. And it isn't worth the hassle of trying to make skins universal anymore.

Also if my collection of plugins stop working on python 3.9.5 I won't be updating them either. I am worn out from all this hassle. Every time I think I have finished my plugins, they go and change everything again.
Its boring working on the same plugins over and over and over again

**dsayers** · Jun 20th 2021

The screen shows fine its when choosing a skin similar to other plugins with a yes/no prompt

**KiddaC** · Jun 20th 2021

I am confused, there is no yes/no on skinselector screen.

**dsayers** · Jun 20th 2021

I can see the skins in skin selector but as soon as I press ok when I choose a skin it crashes. I assume its when trying this screen

This is back on py2.

The crashes can happen on other plugins like Sundtek Control Centre and Image manager when choosing a backup to flash.

**KiddaC** · Jun 20th 2021

That screen is called "messagebox"

in all my skins, for messagebox I have an applet helper code.

<applet type="onLayoutFinish">from enigma import getDesktop, eSize, ePoint

...

self.instance.move(ePoint((desktop_w-wsizex)/2, (desktop_h-wsizey)/2))</applet>

There is lots of calculations going on there to position and resize the messagebox panel.

From your crash log the calculations are probably the issue and will need wrapping in int(). Buy the looks of above, most are, some could probably be further added.
Python 2 will makes these integer. Python 3 will make these floats (decimal place).
ePoint is looking for integer.

dsayers do you get this crash on any of my other skins, slykq, onyx or slyk 1080
Vskins seems to have totally different code than the rest for this applet.
