I'm currently running VIX Hades 015 on my VU Solo 2 with 100x60 picons, however I like the look of oktus 220x132 picons.
My question is how do I change the 100x60 to 220x132, will I need to install another skin ?
I'm currently using VIX Night HD skin.
Many thanks.

There are variables. I will explain so that understanding increases before getting to simple answer.

The skin allocates how much space to use for picons
Some images allow for scaling picons up/down in size. Vix does this.

So if you had an 400x240 sized picon and you used a skin which had space for 100x60, they will be scaled down if image resizes. The opposite way round is true too. SO if you have a picon aht was 100x60, space on skin was 400x240, it would be enalrged, but resolution would not be as good.

Some teams call the larger picons Xpicons, ZZpicons, ZZZPicons, which each person interpreting the sizes differently. Sorry to confuse.

Simple answer: Use larger picons. Use another skin ( try the confluence one).

Thanks for that, the confluence skin looks great.
