i would do but i am barred from touching the boxes till my bitch has finished watching shite on tv haha

 

[micscave]

Thanks a lot, can't wait to try it.

 

[regarto]

Thanks a lot to the ViX team for a new great image.

By the way I cant find where to select the slim channel selection. I can see its present in the Vix Night HD skin.

Further I cant find where to select second infobar on first OK press.

 

[Foxylady]

Definitely trying this out, not yet thou as the wench is watching embarrassing bodies

 

[andys0506]

Does this fix the memory leak issue?

Pic of the new OSD, not a fan of the font or the light grey overlay on the current program! No picon as I hadn't uploaded them yet.

 

[Larry-G]

Does this fix the memory leak issue?

no thats something Vu need to sort out, although why not just back up your current image and give this one a try to see if it increases stability as very FEW boxes are even affected by the memory leak.

Its not a new OSD/Skin, just new infobar layout. Just a variation of ViX Night HD.

You could always create what you like and we'll add it to the feeds for others After all we cant please everyone

I know, I'm not having a go just pointing out my (very early!) first impressions. Everything else about the menus is much better, having mini 'help' info at the bottom is a great job. How would I go about editing the skin to see what I can come up with?

Found the skin editors... so how would I tweak the ViX Night HD skin a little?

 

[mickbrush]

oohh auto resize picons

 

[ea.xlns]

How do you change the event info time from 5 seconds? It used to be in the customise menu?

Thanks in advance
