Matrix 10, this is a beautiful skin, the problem I use OpenBlackHole and when I try to copy the skin folder to OBH, it works, only with couple of mistakes: no second infobar and font in single services EPG is too small. Shortly - is it possible please to adapt this skin to OBH standards and put it on the OBH skin server?
Thank you

You are copying a skin for Blackhole into Open Blackhole image, and they are different ... you can´t do that!

I never used e2skinner
and I do not think dat my skins can be edit with skin editor.

Everything is hand coded in linux editor.

There are more differences between the skins for BH and OBH
not only infobar.

I believe MX HQ8 will be for the next OBH image.

I thiink there is a typo in the xml of the xml of this skin but I am not sure :)

<fonts>
<font filename="/usr/share/enigma2/MX_HQ8/fonts/tiny.ttf" name="Regular" scale="100"/>
<font filename="/usr/share/enigma2/MX_HQ8/fonts/ae_AlMateen.ttf" name="Replacement" scale="100" replacement="1"/>
<font filename="/usr/share/enigma2/MX_HQ8/fonts/tuxtxt.ttf" name="Console" scale="100"/>
<!-- <alias name="ChoiceList" font="Regular" size="26" height="30" /> -->
</fonts>

should the line <alias ..> be at this level of the bloc fonts?

I'm not home to check
but i think skin is coded as follows

<alias name="ChoiceList" font="Regular" size="26" height="30" />
Or something I did not understand.

If line is coded as
<!-- <alias name="ChoiceList" font="Regular" size="26" height="30" /> -->
line is then not in use .

But then it is coded in the coding for ChoiceList...

I do not know what you want to achieve.

Do you have problems with Skin or what ??

No problem with the skin.
just trying to understand the syntax of this.
I have commented the line so I can edit skin with e2skinner. I think the line is wrong at this place.

As I wrote I do not know e2skinner
If the line is in the wrong place or bad
you have image or panel crash

If just one symbol is not good you have a crash.

But you can experiment
if you have a backup from orignal skin.xml

Basically, the skin is great. I just have 2 suggestions:
- I personally like to have date & time in digital clock rather than analog. it is more readable
- I like to have clock in the channel selection screen while reading EPG info
something like thiis

Analog clock in BH images it's history and symbol for BH image from the first day.

Do not touch analog clock

:D :D :D

Of course each user want to have something different.
starting with look, colors and informations.
Some wishes are realized and some not ,and comment is always good
So it's good that you can edit for yourself , then one gets the most.

regrade your work i think the blackhole skins are going from bad to worst !
It's a matter of opinion as is normal for anything to have different opinions. Maybe you could at least mentioned something that you wish to be different than it is now or that it could have stayed there and not be changed. I for one am pleased with the Blackhole skins as there is a good selection and appreciate their efforts to present us efficient skins with every upgrade.

I think it´s a good choice for you to learning what you are not able to learn. Read carefully the forum rules, specially for you the § .7 of rules. --> http://www.vuplus-community.net/rules.html

it seems like a dictatorship to me, any way it is my opinion and i wish to keep it, and i consider it as a costumer opinion you should develop skins with advanced graphics because the vu+ boxs have advanced and superior advantages over other boxs with this skins looks like an ordinary cheep boxs! so dont be sad
