Are you reffering to the colour LCD to the left or the VFD in the centre?

VFD Display in the centreOriginally Posted by Sicilian
LCD4Linux plugin is just for the colour screen.
If you want to customise the VFD display then you will have to edit the skin_display.xml file that is in /usr/share/enigma2/display
That file will be overwritten each time you do an update though so create a sub-directory ie /usr/share/enigma2/display/ajt and drop your modified file in there. You can then select your new layout by going to Menu>Setup>System>Display>Skin setup
A good start is to download a couple of the custom layout files that are in the feeds and see what has been changed in them and that will hopefully give you some pointers as to what you will need to change.

morning all i updated the firmware on my vfd screen and now cant change the brightness and its very dark can hardly see it can anyone point me in right direction i have the brightness setting on full in both normal and standby and it makes no differance
With the sounds of it a reflash would be the way to solve it.
Can i ask, i would like to get round to editing the VFD, but the xml file is a bit daunting on first look, can anyone tell me which lines i would need to stop the record and timeshift flashing as often as they do.
Thanks.
p.s. ive had a look at the ones in the feeds and i'm not that mithered about them.
Upload the default .xml here and maybe some one would be able to help ?.

SIMPLES.
Attachment manager won't let me upload skin xml file, it says it is invalid...?, I'm pretty sure i can edit how i want it to be so that it really compliments the lcd screen. Would anybody know what the pixel dimensions of the vfd are so i can map it perfectly?
Thanks.
Ive been having a mess with this with mixed results, does anybody know of an advanced forum or user group for this?
Thanks.
for the fmashing you just need to eliminate blinking.There is a topic for that.

Hi, I'd worked that bit out, the thing I really want is a map of the screen showing what each item is and the positions, the thing I have noticed from the XML file is some items positional reference is backward compared to others, I'm think maybe the screen is is multi zonal if that makes sense... The reason I really want to do this is by default the 2 screens show a lot of the same info, I would like to seperate the pretty stuff on to the LCD and the blocky stuff (position bar etc) onto the vfd, having to save, upload then restart every time you change one parameter just to try and get some idea of what effect that makes is very tiresome!
