thanx folks, once again.

how to make skin magic-HD default instead of skin magic in custom image ? magic-HD is already in builded image, just want to know how to switch magic for magic-HD as default skin.

is it enough to change this line?
config.skin.primary_skin = ConfigText(default = "Magic/skin.xml")

[pieterg]

1. add it to e2 RDEPENDS
2. modify e2 default config

yesterday after making new image from openpli i decided to try flash image instead of doing packages upgrade. Magic-HD skin working well in configured box, but in first boot after flash with Magic-HD as default skin i got green screen cycling with this error:

Hmmmm, I can't find a Magic-HD related problem in your log. Somebody else??

what else you want ?
identical setup, identical files, on first boot:

Magic-HD : green screen
Magic : boot fine


btw, it isn`t my log but enigma2`s one.

Probably, there is no image file. Or a graphics file is corrupt.

I would just like to report one thing.

My OPINION is that there are two many lines in channel list. 17 channels should be reduced to 15 channels per page. Maybe slighter bigger font?

I have been experimenting with that. However I found no possible way to achieve that. The present presentation is the best I can get.
Many parameters are determined by the image, not by the skin. In this case it can only list the readout of the image.
But: if somebody knows a better code, is able to achieve a better presentation, I will not hesitate to adopt that.

[Taykun345]

too bad :/.
Problem is that not all in my family have good sight. I have 42" 720p plazma, but still, letters are quite small and 17 channels on one page is really too much.
15 or even 13 would be great.

All HD skins for OpenPLi have this issue. I am using Magic SD because of this.

Check this out (VIX image):
Better.

blue_shadow, infinity_hd and ru-infinity_hd (and dmconcinnity too as far as I recall...) all have 15 entries...

you are correct. Even 15 is too big number. 13 maybe .../images/smiley/smile.gif

or

new
50" screen

[VU+NL]

OK, you pushed me to try again. And: it looks like you won.
Please let me know what you think about the attached skin (it's the Magic-HD version; just overwrite the one on your box, in /usr/share/enigma2/Magic-HD).

BTW: choosing the right fonttypes and -sizes turns out to be one of the biggest challenges for a skinner. Especially as all users have different types and sizes of TV-sets (and different eyes as well!).
