There is E2Skinner2. See
But that can't handle the ViX-skins: ViX uses several innovations in the skin engine, that haven't been adapted in the viewer.Code:http://code.google.com/p/e2skinner2/

thanks rob will give it a try, new to this but will see how i get on
Hi Rob / drx360
I struggled with this also and I figured out a "work around" to get by some of the limitations of e2skinner and ViX templates see -> http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...l=1#post220349
I used this work around to create a skin user for Magix HD Noire with Ocram SHD picons http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...l=1#post219810
This might help some folks.
Actually the ViX skinning engine uses a number of smart things that are not supported by e2skinner. It's really not possible to use it.

Rob,
You are of course correct, however please have a look at the work around. By combining the skin and common xml files as well as making the skin resources available to e2skinner, you can indeed get a working WYSIWYG editor. Why not have a look at the work around and see what you think? All I can say is that I used the workaround in some mods I made, and then took the relevant <screen> </screen> elements for what I needed - not perfect but workable and better than graph paper! Any other recomendations appreciated.
Sorry, but I have no idea how to get templates working in E2Skinner.

I also dont understand how yoy get templates working with Magic hd Noire
I understand the trick of joining the common file into skin.xml, but still one has the issue that eskinner can't coop with templates, and gavin an error report when opening.
Templates like this example
Code:<screen name="BasicTemplateNoVp2"> <ePixmap pixmap="MHDC/border/bottom_bg.png" position="0,70" size="1280,2" /> <ePixmap pixmap="MHDC/border/bottom_bg.png" position="0,675" size="1280,2" /> <widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="1100,8" size="150,55" backgroundColor="secondBG" transparent="1" zPosition="1" font="Regular;24" valign="center" halign="right"> <convert type="ClockToText">Format:%-H:%M</convert> </widget> <widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="950,28" size="300,55" backgroundColor="secondBG" transparent="1" zPosition="1" font="Regular;16" valign="center" halign="right"> <convert type="ClockToText">Date</convert> </widget> <widget source="Title" render="Label" position="145,15" size="700,55" backgroundColor="secondBG" transparent="1" zPosition="1" font="Regular;25" halign="left" valign="center" /> </screen> <screen name="VixLogo"> <ePixmap pixmap="MHDC/logos/vix2.png" position="60,638" size="300,34" alphatest="blend" /> </screen> <!--Button templates --> <screen name="ButtonRed"> <ePixmap pixmap="MHDC/buttons/red2.png" position="15,682" size="26,26" alphatest="blend" /> </screen> <screen name="ButtonGreen"> <ePixmap pixmap="MHDC/buttons/green2.png" position="305,682" size="26,26" alphatest="blend" /> </screen> <screen name="ButtonYellow"> <ePixmap pixmap="MHDC/buttons/yellow2.png" position="580,682" size="26,26" alphatest="blend" /> </screen>
