    that is not a wise thing to do, as it will be overwritten on every image update.

    Just rename the file to skin_user.xml and locate it in etc/enigma2
    That way it will never be overwritten, and even be backed up by a settings backup.

    are you looking for the look in the first post?
    If so, press EPG, press Menu, set View Mode to Text.

    No worries, glad you're sorted.
    Graphics is a nice new addition in VIX 3 & I haven't tried the above mod, but I'm all for folks trying new EPG looks & graphics.

    I would also like to have this look the same as ViX 2.3 and lower. Just as in attached screenshot but without the EPG text above.

    You ar free to make any changes to the skin you want. Best do that in user_skin.xml, so it will not be overwritten and also be in your settings backup.
    Search the forum: you can find several examples of such changes.

    Requires some DiY though, but that's what open source boxes are made for

    Yeah I did that for the 2.4 version but the same skin_user.xml doesn't seem to work in 3.0.

    Will play about with that today and post back

    Hey guys, what's the element I need to modify in SecondInfoBar "screen" to either reduce the font size or make the ECM appear on the same line as the connection info? At the moment, it cuts it off as you can see from the screenshot.

    The functionality itself hasn't been changed. Maybe a screenname? Best check if the screenname used in your skin_user.xml are still the same.

    Sorry, I just remembered: the naming has indeed been changed.
    It should now be
    skin_user_{name of current skin}.xml
    i.e. for ViX-Night you would have:
    skin_user_ViX_Night_HD.xml

    This allows the use of several user-skins for several skins, and also makes sure that the user-file is only applied to the correct skin.

    Good to know, Rob. I should have been more elaborate - I meant that while the skin_user.xml did take effect, the SNR/AGC etc. weren't showing for some reason.

    I'll sort it out with this modified one. Any advice for the question in post #24?

    Yes: look in the secondinfobar for all items with 'PliExtraInfo'in it.
    But wait for a moment: what you show in your screenshot isn't right at all. Trying to reproduce that myself, so we might find a general solution for that.

    Edit: I can't reproduce it. Are you on build 249?

    Well, I am using the fonts supplied by the OP in this thread, so this is probably why. With the normal skin-supplied font, I don't have this issue.
