ViXBMC Metropolis Skin **NEW** for VIX Images ONLY

[markus625]

just in the door. was going to edit this tomorrow but seems markus beat me to it
agree is better not to over clutter this skin with hd/sd or widescreen icons etc. only change i will make to it for myself is to add crypt ecm info and snr/agc readouts on sib. oh and a clock in channel selection screen as is pretty important if you are trying to figure out what to watch
Apart from that for me its an ideal skin and big credit to markus for making it :thumbup:

Cheers dude

I agree with the channel selection with there being no clock, maybe a clock and now watching overlay over the Pig (videopicture) would work.

I can add the ecm info to the 2ndinfobar if its wanted, but dont need it myself as i just press the blue button shortcut to bring up the info.

Great skin markus, finally got round to trying it, very nice indeed.

As couple of others have said, would be great to have ecm info on 2nd infobar.

[markus625]

Ive added the time to the channel selection, ive put it in the top right hand corner for now.

The code is below and goes in the

<screen name="Ch_Selection3Template">

template

<widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="1120,0" size="190,30" font="Ubuntu-Light; 28" halign="center" valign="top" foregroundColor="orange" backgroundColor="transpBlack" transparent="1" zPosition="3">
<convert type="ClockToText">Format:%H:%M</convert>
</widget>

Great skin Marcus.

Sorry i am new to editing skins but can you please let me know how to change the colours as I am getting all white on the channel number, channel name, and current program. The channel description keeps going off the screen if i have a channel with more than 2 lines of description. Also on page 3 the 2nd infobar explanation is listing but where does the data go as there is a few </screen>

your help is much appreciated.

I must say I like this skin too. I have move to this instead of the default on in VXI. Nice work!

Not really understanding you, adjusting a skin is a tricky business and even i dont understand much about it, might be better for you to show some screenshots of what you mean, but its hard to please everyone.

Hey markus625, any chance to see this cool skin as an OpenPLi version?

There is nothing stopping Pli from adapting the skin to their needs, sadly though the last attempt made by a member of the ViX team to adapt a skin for them ended in a bit of a ruckus as it was met with hate ( and i dont use that word lightly ) and disdain at every turn. Pli or some one else would have to take the initiative and adapt the skin them selves rather than us doing it for them.

My skin is only based on the others ie Vix-HD and magic-HD, its only the graphics which was designed in fireworks and photoshop which make it stand out, so nothink special.

Guys any idea where i start to code a screen for 1channel, ive looked within Root/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/1channel/ and cant see any xml markup in any of the files there.

[river-rat]

love the skin, but there was a reason i removed it, i have to add it again and do the feedback, great work

Look in Magic-HD: all 7 screens have been skinned.

Hi Markus, just wondering should the IMDB screens be skinned?
Thought I saw a screenie somewhere with it done?
Using build 539 & fresh install of the skin from the feeds, imdb isn't skinned.
