    Skin like Sky?

    Is there a skin out there that is exactly like Sky's setup?

    If not, is there a program where you can design your own skins? I'd like to experiment and make one myself maybe.

    No there are no skins out there that exactly mirror sky's look and feel, and there would likely be copyright issues involved if there were. You could look for a program called e2skinner but thats now getting a little old and is no longer compatible with the ViX skin engine.

    Are there any similar programs like e2skinner that are compatible with ViX so I can design my own one?

    not that i'm aware of, I'm not a skinner my self but as i understand it, it's a process of trial and error using a compatible text editor such as notepad++ editing the various skin.xml files then testing the results on the receiver. In truth it's way above my head but some one else may be able to help more.

    I don't believe there is one exactly like Sly.

    e2skinner + an XML editor will help you make your own skin. e2skinner doesn't work completely with all of VIX's functions but it is useful. Suggest you start by using another skin as your base such as VIX-night as it is always up to date.

    Good luck

    No other programs - but it really helps cut down the trial and error.

    What do we do with the spinner? Is it a case of copy and paste it into a certain folder?

    Thanks,

    The box i am using is the Tm-nano-oe

    Hard to show a screenshot of it actually working? Though i do have a screen shot...not to sure it helps lol

    As with many things ...sometime's you just have to try it to actually get the full effect and see if you like it or not. The main shape is static,its the colours that are rotating so as to give an effect of movement
