Ahh, sorry, I thought this was about the LCD screen.

Yes Clabs, this seemed to happen just after I installed a picons package. I have picons on the VFD display as well as the LCD screen and it seems to have made everything big on the VFD.
OK - try Menu>Setup>System>Display>Skin setup. If you have installed another VFD Display settings from the feeds, then it will be listed here, together with default one. You can either set back to the default one to get back the way things were, download a different display settings from the feeds, or edit the .xml for the current one.
Let us know how you get along.
OK, there was no skins in the menu apart from the default one with Cheryl Cole so I restored to that one, everything the same.
That really is wierd! Looks like something has got corrupted somehow. What picon pack did you install for the LCD or did you just download a set and ftp them accross?
Do you have a backup from before you installed the picons? If you do, you could always roll back to that or if you want to try, I will upload my default .xml and you could try replacing yours incase it has got corrupted somehow.
To be honest I can't remember which picon set it was I installed as I've only had the box a few days and have just been finding my feet with everything basically. No backup of picons, OK thanks I could try replacing with your .xml file that would be great, could you tell me exactly where it goes.
Thanks mate.

No worries bud.
It wouldn't let me attach an .xml file so download this one and rename the extension to .xml
Ftp to usr/share/enigma2/display and overwrite your xurrent file and then restart your box.
If that doesn't work, I would do a fresh flash - if you have only just got it, there won't be too much customising to do.
My advice is that when you want to try a new plugin etc, do a backup first which is really quick on these boxes and so you can quickly get back to how things were if you don't like it.
skin_display.rar
Good luck mate!

OK it didn't work, the box wouldn't even start up until I ftp'd my own xml file back in.
It's OK mate thanks for all your help but i'm just gonna do what you said and do a fresh install tomorrow and do backups as I go along.
Cheers.

Oh well - probably worth a quick try! Do me a favour (if you haven't already reflashed) and post up a pic of the VFD when the box is on. Just curious what it looked like
Cheers, Mark
Here you go mate -)
Thanks mate. That looks like Rossi's large vfd picons which were for and looked great on the Ultimo that actually had a larger useable vfd display.
Ah right, I will start again tomorrow lol
In the feeds are VFD-screens available. Once installed, you can choose one via the display menu. Did you try that?

No m8 but what I just did is backed up some settings , did a reflash of Blackhole and restored settings and my stand by display has now gone to this.
I'm gonna leave well alone for now.
