Hi VIX users,

Installed 1.2 on Saturday after having been with DE since their first VU+ image.
Have to say the VIX is a very good image, no fuss and has all the good plugins.
I noticed the new Date/Time showing on Standby. For some reason it only displays the time since yesterday.
Any idea on what could have happened?

Cheers

You've changed the skin to either of the skins in the feed... Change it back to the vuhd+, and you'll get time/date back...

Indeed pooface, just thought about it and I changed to KerniHD. Can I tweak the KerniHD skin to make it display date/time?

Yes, you can... Find the line:


<screen name="StandbySummary" position="0,0" size="132,64">

Underneath it, there's a line:


<convert type="ClockToText">Format:%H:%M </convert>

Replace it with:


<convert type="ClockToText">Format:%a %d/%m %H:%M</convert>

Restart the box, and it should show the full info... ;)
