Converting a modern dreambox skin to other builds is not straight forward and not a quick job.
1) Not all screens names are the same
2) Some of the skin elements differ.
3) This skin has been designed with vector SVG graphics. SVGs cannot be used on any other enigma2 box (yet). All the graphics would have to be converted to PNGs. And all references changed.
4) The author of this skin might not want it converting to other images. You would have to seek the authors permission ideally. Dreambox crew are a closed knit community. They don't share their wares. But its users want to use everyone elses plugins.
5) It has 5500 lines of code that would need checking and converting.
6) is it do-able... yes you can get something close but not exact, is it worth another skinners effort... probably not.

@KiddaC I appreciate your interest in responding
Your ability is known in the field of skin design, so I appreciate your point of view
- Yes, it is not an easy task, the names of the screens are different, as well as the skin elements differ, and it need experience to understand the difference and then convert successfully
- For vector SVG graphics it is possible to convert them to png extension
- Dreambox crew are a closed knit community, but their consent must be obtained. Aren't These open sources.
I quote the owner of the skin (capa)
license = "This skin is Freeware. You can modify and use it in other images."
- checking and converting 5500 lines of cod is not easy,
- Is it worth the effort or not? I have seen many requests from Enigma 2 users wishing to use it because it is unorthodoxically distinguished from other devices.
But I cannot judge because the biggest burden of work will not fall on me, but the designer who will spend time and effort will suffer.
