Please be aware this skin is very graphic heavy and as a result if used on Vu+ hardware causes severe sluggishness, we are aware of this and looking into it, this does not however appear to affect other manufacturers as severely as it does Vu+.On my Solo2 with a clean install, I've not noticed any sluggishness. Was it more sluggishness whilst doing something specific?
Great skin by the way Rossi :)
it was severly lagginsg throughout the menus, infobar/2ndinfobar
Ok, Going from TV screen into first menu there is a 2 sec delay for main menu to display. Scrolling through menu options not noticed anything. Going into another menu screen from within main menu again 2 sec delay.
Is it this 2sec delay or was it longer on your tests?
4 sec delay on 2ndinfobar (press ok button twice is that?)
Oh and just done a ABM scan and noticed the background for the ABM scanning could do with being increased. See attached screenshot.
39818
yes those are the delays, it should be quicker than that.
its more or less instant on my et8000
i will check out the abm, thx :)
I barely noticed the 2sec delay at first but the 4sec for the 2ndinfo was noticable.
Could this be a code issue like with the delay in scrolling through the pages of the EPG which only affected us VU+ users (seems a common theme :) )
seems to be something going on. weve actually tried loads of different combinations and it appears to be the graphics causing it. this is the only hd skin with graphic backgrounds.

It should not have a two or four second delay but should be almost instant on such a powerful machine as the Solo2.

A driver issue then?
To be honest we are not sure, we have passed the skin onto the Vu+ devs so we will wait and see what they say (if they say any thing at all that is).

None what so ever (my own opinion, and not that of the ViX image team).
Just to report no lag problems on the Mutant HD2400 with apollo 115.
Nice looking skin Rossi
I can also Confirm that there are no Lag problems with the Mut@nt HD2400 & the Golden Interstar Xpeed LX3 on Apollo 115 with the BELLO_1080 Skin
ta guys.
its looking to be a vu issue only atm.
hopefully we can resolve it asap. vu have the skin to have a look also

Well in this case I will gladly concede and eat my words. Although they won't actually tell us what was wrong, Vu+ have told us they have found what was causing the severe sluggishness with the ViXBMC BELLO 1080 skin on Vu+ hardware and will be issuing a driver update to fix it very soon.

yes I already posted about it this morning, although it still does not change my overall opinion of Vu+, one timely fix in five years still leaves a long way to go in my opinion.

Nope, this time (for a change) they actually acknowledged our bug reports and replied to them, it was as a direct result of our bug reports because this skin was very very graphic heavy, more so than any other skin in existence in E2.

So should this run like the wind on duo2 and solo2 now?

The new driver is in build 121 (available via online update and couch flash).
Not made any difference with the delay for me, updated to 121 and the lag still exists.
flies for me now, and displays work much better!
When you're leaving a working/not working update on this skin, can you please state the box being used.
Also, if it was an online update, fresh flash, settings restored or not...
I was running Apollo 106 on my Solo2 but with the Metrix Hd skin. I did the online update to 121 then installed this skin and had the aforementioned lag in the menus.
I then restored to 106 then couch flashed to 121 and reinstalled Bello and all is well .
Solo2 as per my signature, online updated to 121 from 120. Also deleted and reinstalled but makes no difference.
Just done a online update to Apollo 121 on my Duo2 and loaded Bello back in again and the Lag is still their and seems worse when running through the menu if you hold the down button then release it carries on moving down and depending how long you press the button it can carry on for 2 pages before it stops
I will try a Couch flash and see if that makes a difference
:thumbsup: Did a Couch flash installed Apollo 121 and then the Bello skin and and it is Flying on the Duo2 Menu comes on instant and no Lag at all running through the menu's or EPG TV listings :cool:

Personal preference but I like the Ocram shd.transparent-white.

MK picons look very nice
Ocrams picons look ok too :)
judge, try the bigger ones, so theres no resizing of picons to make them bigger happening.

Nope, no settings. Pretty sure Rossi will add that now that you've pointed it out. Lots of room in that last line...
hi rossi,sorry to be a pain in the arse:p.not sure if this is normal or its a setting i can change but this page when doing a manual scan doesnt look right

hi
i have been using this skin since going to hades and think it looks awesome. great work guys.
i have just discovered 1 issue with it which affects the xbmc plugin.
i did a fresh install of hades 008 on my duo 2 and installed 1080 bello skin from the feeds.
i then installed xbmc and set up my preferences and all was fine until i rebooted the box.
now when i open xbmx it loads in a minimised window which basically from the top left corner about just over half way down the screen then about 2 thirds across.
i have a 55" led tv.
when i play movies in xbmc the play full screen.
i tried the other 2 1080 vixbmc skins from the feeds and they were the same.
the only way to get the xbmc plugin gui to load full screen it to revert to say vix night hd skin and reboot.
maybe there is a resolution setting which could be edited or you could look into this as i really like the skin but also use xbmc quite a lot
thanks

@hammyboy - you're right -could've sworn I tried this before in Apollo.
XMBC runs full screen with the vix night hd skin, but not with other skins.
it is likely to be the framebuffer
if your using a 1080 skin,it will only show small
any 720 though should display it properly

agreed - it used to work full screen in Apollo in 1080p skins though up to a certain point, so I wonder if something went amiss when all the skin changes were put in somewhere.
hmm it definatley worked in 1080 skins?, i cant remember tbh.

Yeah - I've always used you-vix blue since you did it and XBMC used to work full-screen.
i will install it now on my soloSE upstairs in a mo

Is there an option to Change the service info text colour,
to make it clearer to distinguish from the service name?
Is there somewhere just bello skin in .zip file for Gigablue Quad without having to download it directly from the feed.
Thanx.

im open to suggestions, what colours would you suggest?
bear in mind the colours must suit both bello and confluence.

Why? latest & most compatible version will always be in the feeds.
I think for those who do not use vix image but would like to have that perfect bello skin...
Thanx.

But it's not skinned for any other images but ViX, it will still work on other oe-a based images but even then it won't be fully skinned for them.
I did not know that it is only for vix image.
Thanx!

To be honest i haven't looked at your confluence skin as the BELLO Skin appeals to my family,
Wouldn't know where to start on choosing service info text colours,
I would rather leave that in your capable hands.

I have tried yellow & green so far
hmm maybe yellow, but not globally, like in your screenshot, just in the list.

I haven't the knowledge to change it in only in the list :o
i only changed the maincolour value to get an idea how it could look
any chance the screen can look like this like the older version instead of having the the tv screen? maybe as an option?

there is no option to have an alternate screen
I have Snr in dB and just noticed :) that Satfinder screen in the Pip shows the Snr in "B" not "dB" :)

Shame because i prefered the skin with Now and Next synopsis instead of Current TV view.

B not dB in Pip
strange, i dont think thats a skin issue, other wise it would show the d and not the B,
it looks like a possible code typo somewhere, displaying it.
how do we get the new screen? will an ota update come?

Another great Update which pleases the missus :thumbsup:
Did you decide against changing text colour to yellow in the list ?
yes yellow looked a little odd imo.
will try to figure out something

Banging, cheers for the info.
Hello!
Is it possible to correct the size of the fonts in the infobar and second infobar? When the name of the program is too long the text is cutted off.

You would need to ask the author of the Skin creator.
