    Awesome! Its starting to look really good! I think you should maybe change the channel selected colour though..

    hello abell431 nice to hear from u.

    I don't have a working sky box here so im not certain what the colours should be.
    what colour do u think the selected colour should be and ill change it asap.
    I thought the sky box uses yellow but im not certain...

    its done...I rushed the other screens but still looks very nice.i spent most of my time on the tv guide screen as that's the only screen that I use....
    well just waiting for abell431 to choose selected colour then ill post files and hopefully someone will make the ipk to make it easier for u guys if u wanted to try it....heres some screen shots...If no one makes the ipk u can always just ftp your box and replace file manauly easy enough..

    I have got the guide switch going but I never use that any way so its disabled..
    also why hasent anyone else made any skins for cool guide.i suppose its a lot of effort for a small thing..any way hope u like it..

    im starting to think I have way to much time on my hands.....I need to get a life

    I will not be making any more changes to any screen exept the tv guide screen as that's the only one I use..

    sorry I ment
    I havent got the guide switch going but I never use that any way so its disabled..

    not

    I have got the guide switch going but I never use that any way so its disabled..

    also I have disabled the cool menu so the guide cannot be alterd as this is the best way I think it looks..no picons in channel list.
    if u don't like it when I have posted the files just uninstall cool tv guide and re install the normall cool tv guide from here.
    Code:
    http://www.cooltvguide.com/
    or make your own skin

    and remember I have only sky uk on my box so I made the skin around that.if u have any other sats installed the cool tv guide will still be the same with the sky logos when u use it....

    I think you should try a yellow colour. Here is a hex code that I got from a screenshot of sky -fecb31
    I use this colour myself a while back on the epg but it didn't lok write because of the white text and As far as I know, on coolepg there is no way to change he 'selected channel' text colour

    I see what u mean no way to change selected channel text hex only pos to change select picon.
    looks awfull when change to proper yellow cos of white text.if I was a programmer then may be but im not so this is as good as I can get.
    ive decided to leave it as is .its as close to yellow as I can get before text become unreadable.
    still I think its looks pretty close to the real sky box..
    ill post files in a min if any one wants to make the ipk.if not just replace files on your box with mine...

    the files I posted in my last post above this are all the files for cool tv guide,if that makes your box crash when u start cool tv guide use these files these are just the skin files only..u are better of using these files don't download the files above,

    this should not crash if u just replace these and nothing else..

    when done u should get a cool tv guide looking like sky tv guide,,,,,

    I will be making another cool tv guide I have found a way to fully customise every colour including the white text.
    everything can now be change just found the way to do it so ill start making the new skin u can always use my old skin until new one comes soon.
    the new skin will be change to what abell431 suggested with selected yellow coulour and with blue text like sky no more white text..
    the next version I release will be fully customizable...
    has any one tested my old skin yet I don't seem to get any response..

    heres a screen shot of the start of my customization just to show that text colour can be change and everything else..hope u like it..grab.jpg

    when ive done it ill post it if any one asks for it,,,
    I will not be making any more changes after that...time u guys come up with some skins....
    when I release the new version u can use that if u want to make your own skin because it will be fully customizable.

    The TM800 runs a totally different OS to the DM and a different processor, so most plugins wont work properly on the TM800 as they would a receiver with native enigma 2 support ( mips ).
    My posts contain my own personal thoughts and opinions, they do not represent those of any organisation or group but my own.

    If you don't like what I post, Don't read it.

    SIMPLES.
