    THE PURE2 PRINCIPLE: GIVE USERS THE MOST FREEDOM TO CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES POSSIBLE WITHIN E2 - but without removing automatic stuff for easier transition, so newbies are not blasted out of the water on first try...


    Read my stickies/top posts and even newbies (with patience and will to learn) will be able to make it all work according to their needs and preferences!!!


    Like PurE2 as an Enigma2 distro, Estuary is the most malleable of Enigma2 skins - and it is made for PurE2, based on legendary XBMC/Kodi experience...


    There are many options for users to set for themselves, if they so desire, all easily edited from your sofa, using nothing but your remote controller (RCU)... On your RCU press the MENU button > Plugins...

    All of these parameters can be changed to different values and you can have so many elements to your liking - it hurts...


    From general looks (Menu style = 5 options) to particular elements... Usually at least 3 options, if not more...


    So, let's start from the MAIN MENU - these are the options for that alone (plus one of the backgrounds and there are 4-5 options for that) and when you are done you need to restart:

    When done making changes...

    P.S. When one makes a PurE2 SW update, sometimes one might lose some settings, like "time" or background in Estuary. For Estuary, simply go to Estuary config and press the green button > restart PurE2 (i.e. press OK button to confirm).

    First infobar may look like this (mine does):

    Second infobar:

    Plus all of the above and a lot more...


    You can experiment with various Video settings in MENU > Setup > System > change the values of various parameters...

    There is one thing Estuary does not have - Picture in Graphics (PiG)...


    So, if you really must have PiG, then this is what you do - with another skin, since Estuary does not have THIS option...


    "Channel preview" means Picture in Graphics - that option we do not have in PurE2's Estuary skin, other than transparency set to about 50% or so in MENU > Plugins > Estuary config...


    You can try with another skin - but I do not know if ALL PurE2 specific functions will work with other skins (FNC plugins in particular)...


    PiG will be found in:


    MENU > Plugins > green button to download more stuff > Skins >

    AX_Blue_FHD_4ATV or

    Aeon_FHD or

    PLi-FullHD, then


    change the skin in User Interface > Skin... or

    pManager > Video/OSD/Skin > Change skin > confirm the suggested action, to restart E2.


    When PurE2 restarts, you must go to:

    MENU > Setup > System > Channel Selection settings >

    Channel list preview = yes +

    Channel list show Mini TV > Yes >

    green button to save and then

    Exit to go to

    Standby menu to

    Restart E2.


    DO NOT REMOVE THE DEFAULT PURE2 ESTUARY SKIN, as some of its libs will be used by other skins!!!


    When you do the above you will get the behaviour you are used to...

    Added the Label Article

    Forgot to mention THE PURE2 PRINCIPLE: GIVE USERS THE MOST FREEDOM POSSIBLE TO CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES WITHIN E2!!!


    Having said that, PurE2 has done that without removing automatic stuff for easier transition, so newbies are not blasted out of the water on first try... See. 'device manager' etc.


    Read my stickies/top posts and even newbies (with patience and will to learn) will be able to make it all work according to their needs and preferences!!!

    Just a small note: this skin has broken new Full HD ground in E2 hobby and it is giving users a lot of ways to configure it according to the users' needs!


    All you need to do is NOT BE RIGID/INFLEXIBLE/CLOSE MINDED/PREJUDICED/SPIRITUALLY LAZY - and you will be able to configure it for yourself...


    Don't be afraid, all the help you need is right here, just ask away if you are stuck or if you feel like you are out of your depth...


    Worry not, these things are NOT that complex - after all, even I have managed to get it going well for myself... :laugh1::mosking::rasta2bigsmoke0gf1::P:party-time:

    Changed the title of the thread from “How to make Estuary do as you please...” to “How to make our Estuary full HD skin do as you please...”.

    Editing this post as I solved my issue but would love to see PiG (default) and a darker for scheme on EPG to match the alternate channel list.


    A service switching ability like Kiddac has made for his skins would truly set this apart. Thanks for all the work guys.

    Have you installed any lcd skin from the feeds? If not try an install one and then chose that as your LCD skin.

    This looks more as if you have no LCD skin at all. And some default skin is loaded
