List of recordings condensed/squashed.
This is is because the default number of rows is set to 20. You need to change this to 9.
Open your list of recordings > Then press menu > Settings > Scroll down to "Number of rows" >
Press left until number changes (9 is suggested) > Green for OK to save changes
Another nice skin mate, give your self and simonsez a big pat on the back for a job well done.
More shots of the new V3. Main Epg, Cleaned up infobar too

So many changes to remember them all, but custom spinner and reboot screen in place too. More updates to be added soon. enjoy guys
can i get this on the feeds on Zues as i have a TM that wont go to helios :(
Any chance of providing the blueHD logo as a spinner? I tried making one but it looked awful so I ended up using a static logo instead.

dont worry, once you install it you wont want the logo as a spinner. This is THE spinner :):):):):)

It's on the feeds but wont be built until the next image is, so wait for build 011 plus
probably in the morning for build 11. :)
i'll put an ipk on for those still stuck with zues when build 11 arrives.

Great Work Rossi and team. Love this skin. Any chance of the Timeline Bar in EPG mode. Would love this on the skin.. Nice in yellow too my favourite colour.
we thought about the timeline bar but decided against it as the original doesnt have it. im sure its something we can include as a potential option

Love this skin, by far the best one out there. Appreciate all the work put in by Rossi and Simonsez. I must say I agree with the above though, the only way I feel it could be improved is to add the Timeline bar, I do miss that from the other skins.
Is this in the feeds?? On build 10 or do we need to wait for build 11?
Have just removed v2 and went to feeds and there not a blue-hd to be seen.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
there should be a blue-hd skin for sure in the feeds which will be V2 atm, i have installed from the feeds myself. you need to install this so then it picks up the future updates.
in the skins section in the feeds its near the top.

Mmmm... I wonder if there's been traces of ipk file I installed left behind when I deleted it. I'll have a look later.
Thanks

Sorted it. There was traces left behind.

When will the ipk be released???
when helios build 11 is online.
im not sure how to make the ipk so it will pick up future updates as the skin is provided through feeds now.
if build 11 isnt here by tomorrow, i'll sort something out.
since the skin was put in the feeds alot more work has been done to it, so you'll be getting the most upto date version.
we have been busy adding some nice bits.
Come on Helios 11! Blue v3 is ready for you

Nice work guys, still not sure why ye include the media bar buttons? that do nothing in EPG, channel list & filelist mode though?
Rahat786786

I agree with judge. Although it looks nice it just takes up space for instance in the channel list where the video display of the channel could be bigger and the font bigger for channel listing if the button graphics are not there.

Yes, it's a good skin & uses good graphics, that button bar annoys me as it can't be used...
Better to use that location for real info IMO.
No need to mimic an E2 box to look like a SKY box, use it to show SKY users what they're missing...

SKY has the best user experience of any box out there in my opinion, and this skin aims to mirror that on a notoriously complicated box for beginners who are used to sky. The bar at the top completes the skin in my opinion, what GUI doesn't have bits that are only there for effect? I think the skin is great and I certainly would not remove the bar at the top, it makes it perfect! :)

The bar at the top does nothing but use a useful area for a dead graphic though?

Of course it is,my reasoning was that sky has amazing series link and planner features, EPG that auto-updates silently, less glitches etc. However that's beside the point, it may be a "dead" graphic but the skin aims to mimic sky, and without that graphic it wouldn't look right. removing it wouldn't save much room anyway as the mini TV would still block more channels being added etc.
Nothing like a healthy debate haha...
Go faster stripes on cars have no function apart from looking good.
My personal opionin is yer thy don't have a function currently, but it keeps in the style of what we wanted and keeps the mrs happy too that it looks like what she knows. And that's priceless haha
Enjoy guys

SKY & Rupert also have millions of $$$ to limit user choices. ViX & skinners not so lucky... but better off.

don't misinterpret what I said as complaining lol ViX is fantastic It's the reason why I got an expensive vu box over a cheap dual tuner clone!
I'm just saying that for whatever reason sky does have a very user-friendly and feature rich box (for people that just want to watch TV) and this amazing skin tries to mirror that, which is why I think the image whilst functionally useless is neeed:)

Removing it would give the channel list screen as much space as the Vix Night screen which has a larger video display and even room to show what is showing Now and Next for a program with descriptions. Yes it does make it look nice but I think that the channel list screen is the one that would benefit most if it were excluded from it

User friendly = working buttons. A skin that has useless graphics to display non working buttons will never be user friendly.
Is there a way to turn off the = sign on the channel info?

You are missing the point mate, this skin is made to mimic sky, down to finer details which it does do whether or not vix has the functionality for a menu at the top or not. If you removed that "useless" graphic the skin wouldn't look as good and people would miss it. By your logic you wouldn't include any graphic that doesn't do something - what sort of UX would that be? This skin (in my opinion) is light years ahead of the default theme on ViX or vix night because it includes graphics that make my box look more like sky.
I think the = sign is to do with ABM than the skin

Nah, think you're missing the point, (mate). Skins that are made to mimic SKY but limit E2 functionality aren't the best of ideas on E2 boxes.

I know I keep rambling on about the channel list screen lol but it is perhaps the screen my family uses the most. The graphic you say is to make the interface user friendly but all it does is make the text smaller and so has the opposite effect as you end up with a smaller video display, less program description information and perhaps squinting at the text if you are sat a reasonable distance away.

That's the issue, I use the mini TV not the channel only screen, so it wouldn't (and doesn't ) affect me, but I can see where you're coming from I wonder if it would be easy to edit? I've made a few tweaks myself, but not to any xml files

I'm not arguing with folks who like it. I like the skin, just don't see the point in graphics/buttons that don't work & could be used so much easier.
i hear what your saying about the channel select screen, maybe a change around to make better use of the screen and E2 functions. We could possiby implement a similar layout to our unfinished skin on this screen, which had NOW NEXT LATER...... if it did it will still have the icons at the top :p:p

so the infobar has a now, next and later? that would be great! whatever you guys do, please don't remove the graphic at the top! lol
Can I download this from the feeds ? Or is it in the download section as a ipk ? I am using the v2
no the channel selection screen will now have "NOW NEXT LATER", not infobar dude. and yep icons will stay :)
heres V3 from github if you cant wait for build11 helios.
instructions:-
un-install existing Blue-HD skin from remove plugins
delete Blue-HD skin from /usr/share/enigma2 (if it exists)
transfer new Blue-HD skin to /usr/share/enigma2

Will this update in the future or should the feed version be installed when build 11 comes out?
yes install this for now and then install from the feeds when build 11 is out, its likely build 11 will have a newer version also so it will overwrite this one.

Also, what changes should be made like for the number of rows etc? The skin looks amazing btw!
change channel selection number of rows to 18, thats what i have mine set to, you maybe better with 16, adjust to suit, the rest should be the same as before.

Rossi, Simon, the new OnDemand screens look excellent, nice work.
Not sure if ye're aware but presume ye are? when highlighting selections on some of the players, the text is pretty hard to read.

its a bug in E2, somehow the backgroundlistbox colour is coming through.
i need to try some things to eliminate it, unless any other skinners know how to fix?

Thanks Judge, we are aware of that, we have a few ideas we are working on to potentially resolve it. Also more work to be done if we can access the screens after the menus. so we can brand in everything in together and offer a better ondemand interface. We want the scrollers to match colour wise too, another thing thats being worked on. We are both pretty happy with the way its going so far and wanted it share it now

Yes, ye should be. Apart from my personal dislike of the non functioning icon bar in some screens, it's looking really good.
Great to see OnDemand skinned with new ideas too. Keep up the great work.
andys helped alot with some e2 modifications to add features and get some things done differently etc.
but there are still quite a few limitations within enigma2 as how much customization you can really do to simple things.
Can you add padding on some screens? if not, reduce the look of some graphics?
Also, some screens don't have nicely rounded edges in their titles so look a bit harsh.

Updating from Build 010 to 011 when it is built is just a simple online update job, you wont loose any settings at all, in fact the image will even make a full settings backup as part of the online update process, just in the eventuality something does go wrong so you can restore it.

Hi, I've just installed the latest version3 (upgraded from fraggle's) and its a million times better and looks much more professionally done. I have noticed a slight issue on the screen that shows the list of recorded programs. (using helios v010). It looks quite squashed between recording titles and also the date\time on the right seems to be cut off. Is this something you're aware of?
May depend on how many rows you have. Mayde lower the amount of rows, see if that helps. Thanks

Not really this version now has the official S*Y font in use, few icon changes and tweeks. The Ondemand has taken a slight step back with the yellow scroll bar across all brands, but only a small step back (still looks good thou)
Apart from that enjoy. Feedback always welcome

Very, very impressive lads. Graphics are slick and the Now and Next feature in the channel guide is great.

if you have installed the uploaded rar from here and done the auto update, it wont appear as your updated. I checked this when i did helios upgrade. best way to confirm is go to delete plugin and go to skins. if its there then your fine
Rossi, great to see you experiment with OnDemand screens.
Can these new ones be full screen with PIG enabled, like EPG screens?

I already had it installed, reason for not showing. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Looking sleek so far...
I've just upgraded from the Zeus build to the latest Helios, the latest version of this skin looks great!
I just have a small issue when fast forward, rewind, pause etc. on a recording it shows the static blue round icon in the top left but doesn't show the forward or rewind speed (ie 2x 4x 8x etc.). Is there another configuration change I need to do to make this work? This is on a Vu+ Solo2.
Thanks.

that was my initial plan but i couldnt figure out what else to put in the left hand side then. be abit of empty space.
can you think of anything?
theres not much more info you can put on the screen with this plugin, its quite limited with the way its been coded.
alot of the info has been coded into the listbox like channel names and program info etc. i cant split it out to put the info above the logo, like the epg screen.

Hi Rossi, any chance of uploading the latest build of your skin as a folder so I can transfer to my box? I've got a technomate box and so far Helios hasn't been released for Technomate boxes due to some ongoing issues. Really loving your skin and just want to keep updated with the builds. Many thanks in advance.
I've just noticed when adjusting the volume there is a white line that runs along the bottom and about a 1/4 of the way up each side of the volume bar. I've added a screenshot but you can't make it out.
I'm not complaining I'm just pointing it out.

hi rossi
i dont know if i have v2 or v3 but i downloaded blue hd skin last week.
using helios 012
so do i have v2 or v3?
V2 would have the old look epg - light blue. V3 is all dark blue epg. That's the quickest way to tell. I would say you are on v3
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
check menu / information / about
it will say v2 or v3 at the bottom
The timer progress bar in the info bar can you make the yellow darker as difficult to see the contrast between time lapsed and left.

The shutdown screen where it shows the play and pause logo. i love that. What is the name of this file, I would love to use it as the startup background (as backdrop & bootlogo.mvi)
Is it in usr\share\enigma2\Blue-HD
what is it called?

Can the show description be split from the name & displayed in a different area?
That way if using PIG mode, description could be shown under PIG so it's a bit more consistant with other screens.

Also, noticed you moved the spinner for start/stop softcams, nice move. Looks much better there.
However, only top left 1/2 of spinner is shown.

Rossi, what do you think about adding highlighted file size in file list mode, lots of room in the area you show Trashcan size & disk space?
Handy if a HDD is almost full & you want pick what to delete.

Any chance of moving this icon
I watch a lot of Star Plus and Colors - these channels during the ad breaks give you a counter how long before the ads finish- unfortunately when i watch recordings on these channels and i fast forward the icon covers the top left and blocks the countdown
Also whats the best picons to use with this skin
yep fixed already in the next image update.
The ocram hd picons from the feeds work really well with this skin. All personal choice
Could you upload a screen shot of the counter and timeshif icon so we can see if it can be moved. Thanks

this plugin seems/feels like it was created quickly and only for vix-night-hd skin.

do u mean just making the trashcan widget a differet colour on screen or something else?
ok...i love the look of this skin....i have a vu+ duo on vix 3.
i dunno if i'm compatible with this skin at all....but i tried it....and it looked sweet, apart from the epg and some menus had blank text, so it was unusable.
so near and yet so far to being usable for me.
thought i would ask here to see if someone had any suggestions before i forget about it.
thanks in advance for any replies / suggestions
whats up with the epg?
which menus have blank text?
cheers
i should have taken a photo.
on the epg....the full 7 day epg....each 'box' is blank.....although if i move between boxes the programme preview at the top is correct....its as if i have a font missing on the box or something.
weird, take a photo then please
first, thanks for the replies....appriciate it.

Skin musnt of been updating when performing software updates, strange.
Hopefully will auto-update in future software updates now ive reinstalled.
if you installed just the folder what i uploaded at first then it wont autoupdate.
you need to install from the feedsfor it to autoupdate.
yes that would be great, even at the same location previous to not having your skin on

can i ask....what font does the skin use on the 7 day epg / planner ??
do u mean just making the trashcan widget a differet colour on screen or something else?
No, on the line where you have Trashcan size & disk space sizes, just under /media/hdd/movie/ in that screenshot, there is plenty of room to show the fileize of the currently selected file in the filelist.

Heya mate,
LOVE it. Nothing more can be said to be honest. My feeble attempt was fruitless! :) For new users to the skin and V3, it might be a good idea to tell users the optimum settings to use on the first post e.g. number of rows, font size etc. Also, I see the name of the font is "SkyFinalRegular.ttf". If not it's an excellent copy. Is yours the exact one Sky use because if not I have their official font if you want it.
One final thing, sorry to be a nuisance, but on mine there is text cut off.
34557
I've also created a different boot logo which is attached in the ZIP folder.
I'm sure Rossi will look into why that's doing that with the overlaying text. I've not come across that. You can also go to graphic mode on the epg which is cleaner than the text mode your currently in.
The font is sky's official 2014 font. It comes in three thicknesses which I acquired by my own handywork :-)
Sky have a separate custom epg font which is identical to the fonts we use, apart from the lower case "g"
apologies if already mentioned although I couldn't find when searched... you know when you go into a bouquet and see the preview window displaying the channel in the top right... when I scroll down through the channels to preview sometimes there is too much text (mini synopsis for now & next) under the preview window. Is there anything I can do to fit all the text in here? sometimes the synopsis is short & thats fine, but more often or not it gets cut off as it's too long?
Not the end of the world etc. and takes nothing away from the excellent skin... would just be nice to be able to control the info size or scroll option to enable the whole synopsis to be read.
Cheers

Hi rossi2000 - great work.
I jave a question to help us amateurs. There used to be a tool called e2skinner. I am wonderinging if there are other or newer resources to help with ViX skin editing and creating - you have done such a meticulous job - especially visualisation of the xml as you edit? If you can provide some pointers great, and thanks again
e2 skinner used to be ok.
but i find its easier to edit the xml directly.
i dont think e2skinner is compatible with vix skins.
if you want/need anymore info just post.
e2 skinner used to be ok.
but i find its easier to edit the xml directly.
i dont think e2skinner is compatible with vix skins.
if you want/need anymore info just post.
So assume you have to edit .xml using Notepad++ or similar, and then view results on your Enigma Compatible box? Or do you use an .xml editor that gives you a few more features, perhaps you can indicate? Thanks again.
edit using notepadd++ and then see results on e2 box :)
expect hundreds of e2 restarts :)
My pause is set up so that if i change channel after pausing, there is no warning it just changes channel as I prefer this.
The thing is, if i pause a channel. Then press channel up or down to go to another channel. the play sign is still showing for a few seconds. Although not a huge problem, I thought i would point it out.
Before I post just want to say great work on the skin. it's awesome.
Is there anyway to extend the width of the first infobar so it covers more of the screen?
Thanks
