Larger Ultimo VFD Picons

[rossi2000]

evenin all

got my ultimo last week so thought id have a play with the vfd icons
whilst the ones on here look great i think they look a little small.

im not fussed with some of the info avaialble on the vfd so i removed some of it and made the picons bigger.

picture below

ive taken sandmans or ev0s picons (i cannot remeber which now) and re-sized them to 175x64. Using ViX 2.4 image
ive only done the HD Bouquet so far just to get a feel for them.


copy the lcd_picon folder to /media/usb
and put the skin_display_picon.xml into /usr/share/enigma2
then restart enigma2.

ive re-done a few picons but some just dont look right when done, so theres the odd one or 2 missing.

what are the exact specifications the files need to be? in case i can get some made from scratch.


lemme know what u think.

ive changed the vfd icons and added more to the vfd.
the rec icon blinks instead of being solid on the vfd
added some more large picons for HD bouquet and some in entertainment bouquet

i cannot test the update icon atm as there is no update to perform :P but it should appear underneath the rec icon and to the left of the 16:9 icon and blink when theres stable or unstable updates.

heres some pics of the new layout:-

xfer lcd_picons to /media/usb
xfer lcd folder to /usr/share/enigma2 and overwrite any files.
xfer xml file to /usr/share/enigma2 and overwrite the existing one.

once done, restart e2.

[rossi2000]

re-done loads of the picons and kept a load from other packs and just re-sized to fit aswell.
resized fonts throughout the menus


slowly working my way through the whole list, these picons are in line with the dbuk bouquets and regionals are north west atm, untill i add in the variants.

so far:-

HD
Lifestyle & Culture
Music
Movies
Sports

only the odd ones missing from these so far due to some i cannot find a logo for and some are a pain in the arse to sort out.

copy the lcd_picon folder to /media/usb

Firstly, excellent work mate, you're doing a smashing job.

Just a quick question regarding the quote above, should I put lcd_picon folder in the /media/usb/ folder if I'm not using a USB?

Thanks pal

[rossi2000]

no worries, cheers
still a ton more to go though yet! i dont mind its keeping me busy for abit.

i only mentioned /media/usb as thats all im using to put them on.
i assume for hdd you put them in /media/hdd and for internal flash i think its /usr/share/enigma2 im not sure ive never stored them anywhere else.

hopefully someone can clarify that.

Hi, I'm trying to put the picons 19.2 and not get to see them.

I put the picon with the same characteristics as yours.

and put my lcd and skin_picon.xml folders, but not out.

I enclose picon created, to see if you see the fault.

link...>

ln -s /media/usb/lcd_picon /usr/share/enigma2

28.2..look perfect...OK
19.2 astra ..NOK ???

Thank you.

Just an FYI mate, ITV HD doesn't seem to work for me? Everything else looks brilliant

[rossi2000]

there are no regional variants in there yet.
atm its set for North West (Granada) so it wont show if your in another region, it'll need renaming.

im just getting a few more bouquets done, i'll upload them tonight, and then i'll start adding in the regional ones.

Updates getting better and better mate. Great job!

I have one question; not sure if this is possible but when using the QuickEPG mode (left/right buttons) the picons are not showing, instead the channel name and EPG is coming up. Would it be possible to have this working like the up/down buttons? Presumably, its related to the xml file?

Cheers

yes thats no problem it was one of the things i was thinking about doing, i'll implement it in the next update later in the week as i have a few more bouquets to complete
