Are people still using 720 skins? Or have most people switch to 1080?
Please vote in this poll so we have an idea what people currently prefer .

1080, kiddac skins. Would go 2160 if it were possible ?

I have a 4k tv, but for some reason I don't understand if you choose a 2160 resolution on image install, menus and skins look terrible, appreciate there are no 4k skins afaik.

Hi BobbyC,
I use Magic-HD Night also on 4K TVs and it does not look terrible at all.

I'm using the standard vix-night-hd skin. It's the one that I can see the best on my bedroom Tv as the fonts are bigger (smaller TV and further away!).

Simple 1080 for me too + a skin_user.xml to make the fonts even bigger! :thumbsup:

As it is at fresh flash �� LOL.:confused: not really change since early days might have a fresh look now

Vix-Night-HD (1280 x 720)

[alphacabbage1]

Blue-HD on an 'HD Ready' TV. It was the first skin I found that worked well enough. It's a struggle on some of the detailed menus - highlighted text can be difficult to read - but it looks pretty and is generally more than OK.

Yep - it's a better size on my bedroom TV.

I like things simple so 1080 for me also.

RalfInteresting, I just switched to 2160 mode there and applied magic-fhd , fonts are slightly blurry for me [emoji24]

Fonts are perfect under 1080 mode, just not great when in 4k

Magic FHD skin

[Trial]

Hi,
I must confess that I am also using Magic-FHD instead of Magic-HD-Night (I used for ages).

Switched to VIXBNMĈ_1020_Confluence.
There are however some plugins which have not been neatly adapted to HD skins.
Samples: Wikipedia - virtual keyboard is not centred and some keys are not visible - pictures are not visible
MP3Browser - After exit of plugin it sometimes happens that I have a 720 resolution and need to restart GUI
Netspeedtest - Layout and fonts are too small and you need a magnifier for reading.

The problem is, that you don't find people actively maintaining the plugins.

What surprises me is that so many people are still using 720 skins. It a bit like having a Ferrari and never taking it out of first gear.

Simple 1080 has bigger fonts than ViX-Night... Probably bigger than any other skin in the repo.But it also has a daft spacing between menu entries, which makes the System menu span two screens unnecessarily.

[ccs]

.... that one certainly runs into 2 pages just to show the last entry.

[Huevos]

This one?

61436

[ccs]

Yes........

[birdman]

Yes.
So why do you see it all on one screen while ccs and I have to go to the next screen to reach Vix (for the backup/image manager)?
Or was that after your change to the skin?

[Huevos]

Yes.

Or was that after your change to the skin?The cell height is 900; The ItemHeight was 75. The next smaller integer that multiplies into that size without remainder is 60. That give 15 items per page instead of 12. I've pushed that change.

I'm using simple1080 on my standard def TV. Must get one of these newfangled flat screen HD things one day.

Simple 1080 for me
