guys/girls

i have coded a new Display Skin Selector found in SETUP --> SYSTEM --> DISPLAY --> SKIN SELECTOR

this allows you to choose the skin you want, the old setting 'Use picons' for display has been removed you now choose what skin you want here.

also some more good news i have recoded the way picons are displayed for GigaBlue Quad & UE. it will will now use the standard infobar pcions to display on the LCD dsiplay, the VuUtlimo still need LCD pcions as it is mono display.

Also if you look in the plugin downloads you will see a new section called display here is where you can find 'skins' for your display (currently for Quad, UE & Ultimo), please download and try them out.



a last note if you wish to share your modded xml with others please take a photo of the display for a preview and name and send both file to me


andrew.blackburn644@btinternet.com

please name your email subject "LCD Skin for ViX Image" and tell me what machine it is for , and i will add it to the downloads.

thanks

andy.

Hi
Is this supposed to work on the UE as after doing the latest update there is no option under system/setup labelled as display. Is there anything else I need to download to get this option or will it be implemented in a later update? as this looks like a really good way for implementing LCD picons.

No mate, if it works on your box it will be in the image by default.

Not got that box so not sure if it should be there, will ask Mr Mister

it should work on UE, but i admit i have not tested, i will flash my UE and test tomorrow for you.

i have tried to change the skin on my ultimo but asked to reboot then just went back to default?

do i need to add the picons in first? i though this would not matter

it cannot re-render your normal picons for the ultimos vfd as it does for the quad/UE

you'll need a separate vfd picon pack for the ultimo

the vfd picons imo need to be created from scratch, as there only black and white and not full colour like the quad/ue

Here is Rossi's last VFD picon pack. If they could be added to the feeds, that would be great.

Thanks

I realise that some are a bit out of date but they still look pretty good. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills involved to update them.


Here is a picture from Rossi's thread:

Sorry to say, but I've never been interested in picons on the VFD. So I've no idea really.

Lyngsat hold a very large database of picons that almost every picon maker uses as their base. If any one has the dutch ones they will.

The availability of picons is no problem: they are on the feeds. It's about transforming them for VFD-use.

Can't see the pack on the feeds on build 629?

Edit: found it!

They will be available as soon as the next image is pushed as andy is currently in the process of rebuilding his build machines and the feeds, in order to keep every thing running as it should. please be patient as it will take a little time.

Can Rossi's xml layout be added to the display settings?

This allows the VFD to display the picon fully?

I don't know if anyone will find these useful, I use slightly smaller display picons (110 x 40) on my ultimo (not sure where I got the originals) but I've managed to keep them reasonably up to date by making my own. I use a slightly modified skin_display_picon.xml to get them to display correctly. You are welcome to play.

no need to resize the picons themselves the skin engine will do it for you.
