fixed the edges (ALICE Picons)

[DeGea468]

@ Silverfox0786

I liked your picon set the best great job, I found with others there are a lot of duplicate picons for a channel and its +1 variant with yours there is actually a +1 picon etc.
I think your picon goes best with the default ViX image skin imo, which i'm using at the moment and will probably continue to use this skin as i like the look etc however i noticed on some of your picons the edges stick out and doesn't properly fit into the area for it.
I went through your picons and trimmed/cleaned up all the picons using photoshop now they fit perfectly in the area for it on the ViX skin (hopefully they fit perfectly on other skins for other people).

Hope you don't mind that i edited them to get rid of the edges that were sticking out.

Again thanks for an amazing picon set

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?8388-VIX-Team-Silverfox0786-Picons-Bug-ThreadOkay then i'll have a post in that thread shortly and i'm glad you made the picons the way you have for the reason i mentioned plus your picons are very clear on my TV vs others i have tried where some picons were blurry.

Do you use photoshop CS5 to make your picons?

[silverfox0786]

haha

funny you say that i love my picons and now you have said they are clear on yr TV

alot of people dont use mine as they feel they are not clear enough

couch cough stanman :rolleyes:

yes mate i use CS5 EXTENDED for making mine

[Stanman]

yes mate i use CS5 EXTENDED for making mine:eek: not clear enough? Yours are 1 of if not the clearest I've used, one of the main reasons i use your picons is because of how clear they look.

Okay then that's what i used to get rid of the edges.

I made a selection PSD that auto selects the edges (so edges don't have to be selected manually) then 'ctrl x' will delete the edges followed by 'ctrl s' which will save the picon.

Here is the edge selection PSD so you can get rid of the edges quickly on new picons you make.

oh and you have to have the selection psd open in photoshop while your working on the picon or you won't be able to load the selection and to load you have to right click the picon your working on then click 'Load Selection'

[silverfox0786]

don't worry mate i got a macro setup for edge removal and it is more clearer as i use layers and do it before flattening them

once flattened edges removed and re-saved the quality decreases

if you list in the thread which need doing i will get em sorted for next release

[DeGea468]

Oh right okay in that case i'll just use what i got till your next release is out. As for which needs doing i guess/suggest you could have a look at the the edited one to see how much edge has been removed so that when you use your macro setup you know how much to remove to get the perfect fit.

I look forward to your next release :D

with vix HD the bevel is 10 pixels and thats how much mine are

a few that are not right is because i was using the wrong photoshop setup

andyblac not only is he a genious coder but also a photoshop tutor and he setup the macros and my layers for me so any new ones i make will be perfect

just the old ones i made before this change will need redoing but i cant remeber which ones so its a case of doing em as they get noticed

That's good that a genius coder and photoshop tutor has set up the macros and layers for a perfect picons.
I think maybe you should re-do all the old ones that you haven't yet re-done with the new photoshop set up that way you ensure that all your picons are perfect.

[silverfox0786]

yeah thats the issue i cant remeber which ones are which

but they will get there as channels change icons all teh time so they then get redone

andy is brill if only he showed me before

lol

lolCan't you look at the 'date modified' to see if the date is recent or not?
true but i wouldn't have thought it was that often that they change it.
Yep if only, good he's here now.

I was going to post in the bug thread but it was closed.

Thanks again for your work.

[silverfox0786]

i will check the bug thread to see why its closed and reopen it

NHK World has been removed as its been removed from the skyline up

i'll add it to the picon update thread for anyone that wants it

[DeGea468]

[silverfox0786]

oops seem to have forgotten to delete NHK World

[DeGea468]

oops seem to have forgotten to delete NHK WorldThat's what i thought, Maybe you'd forgot to delete NHK world from your settings for bouquets.. Is France 24 also not part of the sky line up no more? Is there a way i can delete NHK world via DreamBoxEdit myself?

[Stanman]

Yes, just highlight and delete but you will need to copy and paste of the channel without a name otherwise you will lose the numbering and everything will move up one number ie 412 becomes 411

[DeGea468]

[Stanman]

If your using Silvers bouquet, there are already there and havea - against them

[DeGea468]

yep i' am using silver's bouquets but i can't see the - you mention.. Is there a screenshot i can look at to see where you mean exactly? sorry pretty new to using DreamBoxEdit

[silverfox0786]

france24 just left after i released the settings that will be fixed in next update

[Stanman]

its the ones above 101 - you need to enable duplicate in options otherwise they wont be there

[DeGea468]

france24 just left after i released the settings that will be fixed in next updateOkay then thanks for confirming that.

How do you add Watch HD and Dave HD manually? as i'm still having problems with them both having no info in the epg.

Thank you for the image i now see what you mean.. however i don't see them in my DreamBoxEdit.. I enabled the duplicate option under, Tools -> Options -> advanced and still not seeing it

[silverfox0786]

Okay then thanks for confirming that.

i added the transponders pids in manually via dbedit but you shouldnt need that as my settings should have them in there

i think there is another issue with yr box as yo y epg is not showing

Download them again and send them to the box as if you retrieve them from the box and did not enable duplicate, it wont have them in
