MetropolisHD by Franc skin ver 1.0.

Fully tested on STi 7111/7162 OpenAR-P/PBNIGMA - both OE 2.0, python 2.7.
It ought to work on all SH4 Enigmas and some mips Enigmas (Gigablue - TeamRED, DM 800HD SE etc. - Open-Pli 3+).

Download: https://skydrive.liv...AAxNh7SGBdoqdVA

Installation via telnet:
opkg install /tmp/*.ipk --force-overwrite

Manual installation:
Usual procedure, the IPK version is above but here is the info anyway:
1. In /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Converter/ and /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Renderer/ - I recommend you overwrite the existing files
2. In /usr/share/fonts (in some Enigmas /usr/local/share/fonts/) copy all fonts - overwrite, as above.
3. File MetropolisHD copy to folder /usr/share/enigma2 (in some Enigmas folder /usr/local/share/enigma2)

In case of trouble, return to the default skin by going into E2 via FTP and in folder /etc/enigma2/ find the file settings, where one changes the default skin in the following line: config.skin.primary_skin=MetropolisHD/skin.xml. Instead of "MetropolisHD" put the name of the default skin. Or simply delete the whole MetropolisHD folder.

SNRdB vs. SNR:
By default in infobar one gets the signal strength in dB, while the secondinfobar it's in %, if E2 supports it. If one gets "N/A" in infobar (or similar nonsense) one should alter the values in the main Menu: - Menu --> Setup --> System --> User Interface --> Show SNR percentage instead of dB value = Yes

Picons: With MetropolisHD I recommend 'black picons', never transparent or oled.

Enjoy!

A note: Some plugins/extensions can slow down Enigma2, as well as a skin...

P.S. For "AntiMariozo" version of the skin: replace skin.xml with skin-antimariozo.xml (see the first two images below, to see the difference).

Just a few more images...

Cool, thanks!

Aha, here you are, guys - the author is here (vrane = Franc!)...

You're very welcome, m8!

Have fun!

Very nicely done, indeed.

If someone can confirm it works on OpenPLi 3 and 4, and have a working .ipk, we can add it to the feeds?

Tested on some OpenPLI 3 based images (like OpenAR-P, PBnigma, TeamRed), also tested on OpenPLI 4 (Dreambox 500/800 HD...).

I tested it on Alien2/STi 7162, which is SH4, based in OpenPLi 3 (PBNIGMA Beta for it).

Some on GB Quad with TeamRED E2.

Excellent for smaller TVs!

Etc.

best skin ever! only the hd dolby and other blocks on that row are 2big, but thanks for this nice skin! im glad to see that you have made the channelnames in de skin,not like the mymetrid skin without the channelname in the skin.hope that in the future you make a plugin for this skin so we can customize are own style in your skin! 

thank you vrane for this beautiful skin.

Opps,found a little bug,it doesnt show channel name if its in cyrilic characters on Infobar...On channel list is OK,maybe font doesnt support cyrilic ...

@gorski, which picons size is best for this skin?

Hello veskop.

<widget source="session.CurrentService" render="Label" position="253,480" size="781,44" font="Replacement; 40" backgroundColor="transpGrey" transparent="1" halign="center" foregroundColor="un21e2e2e2" zPosition="1">

<widget source="session.CurrentService" render="Label" position="253,480" size="781,44" font="Regular; 40" backgroundColor="transpGrey" transparent="1" halign="center" foregroundColor="un21e2e2e2" zPosition="1">

Done

Btw.

In the next version i'll implement support for Cyrillic characters.

Cheers,

Franc

very very good m8, the most beautiful until today. thanks!

BTW, tested on OpenPLI Experimentals 3.0

Muh@, this stuff I have on a USB stick from before is 100 x 60, as attached...

Very nice skin,but ...

- Its too transparent,if watch programs with subtitle,it a little bit "mess" on infobar.

- Bars are little big

- a lot of colours

IMHO will be beter something like this:

The skin is great! Works perfectly on ET9500 with PLI4.0.

However, I also think that the lower bar and especially the HD, 16:9 ... buttons should be smaller.

All that depends on one's TV, how far you are from it, your eyesight, preferences etc.

De gustibus...
