this may sound crazy and may be pointless for me any way,
my nephew asked me to make him a skin for coolguide that is football themed.i hate football if I did make one he wants crystal palace does any one think they would want one made in there team....if I did make him one it would be easy for me to edit that and change it to whatever team I wanted.before u say anything I know palace are crapp..

I know it may be pointless I just wanderd what u guys think is it a stupid idear......or should I go to the shops and see if I can get myself a life.
I think if I was going to do something like that it would be better to have the whole image themed rather than just cool tv guide,,,but that will take to long and I haven't got the patience for making a complete skin for the box..

No i dont think it's stupid at all, while i cant stand football my self there are plenty of users who would like the EPG skinned to their team same as some who run custom bootlogos.

cool I might spend a little time and do one for the nephew and then if I know what teams to do next ill do that..

just a shame I haven't managed to make the ipk it would be so so much easier for people to install instead of replacing files..
however its not that hard to replace a few files..

Hi fraggle121,

Uploaded your Sky skin into VU+ Uno, but keep getting
Green Screen (Crash) will test and report back.
It works OK until I press one or two other EPG Info buttons.

Thanks for Good Work, BF.

 

[fraggle121]

it might need quick multi button istalled some button might be mapped to cool guide and standard guild
with multi quick button u can use that to try and configure the buttons that are crashing,,

I will be making another version with my latest skin sooon with the latest cool tv guide
hope that irons out any probs,,,

Hi fraggle, will you be making a version of this for openvix?

 

[fraggle121]

someone on another forum is sending me a box with vix on it.i will be getting that tomorrow.
when its arrived I will be looking into modding the standard guide to look like sly but I wont know if any thing can be don until I have the box
I have worked out the colours can be changed to a certain point.i will investigate further when box comes,,

probably best to make a different thread for the ViX based skin your working on to differentiate it from this one which needs the CoolTV guide installed to work.

 

[fraggle121]

u get around

yep I agree will do at some point

@fraggle121 Thanks for all your hard work mate.i am truly hopeful you can get this to work on vix as i would really like a nice bright EPG on my box.I have the sky skin lokking great but as we all know it keeps the black EPG.

 

[KevinM2k]

you havent got a quick guide on how to create a skin have you? I wouldnt mind having a go myself.

Hi Fraggle

First thank you so much for all your hard work doing these cool skins for everyone.

I am running blackhole on a VU+ box and I would love to get the Sly guide on the box as i'm so used to seeing that blue now since childhood!

I read on another forum the skins wont work with blackhole, yet on this thread a lot of people only mention vix not working.

I thought it might be better to ask you if it would work or not in your experience?

Thanks

love the skin.. well my family does more.

I love the skin.. well my family does more.

I'm a complete novice so please bear with me:

When comparing the Sky skin to my old Metrix Skin:
The Menu List is a lot better on the Sky121
The infobar The Sky skin does looks simpler with all the same information the Metrix Skin. However, I think the Metrix skin (although my family disagree) . is easier to extract visually the information.
EPG – Like many skins I prefer an EPG guide with at least ten channels at a time. I don’t think a EPG guide needs a preview although nice .
Recordings: No difference really.

I do need help with a few things on the Sky Skin.
1. No Picons – Would be nice
2. How do I remove the channel no. listing? I have the Virgin (?) & the Sky channel no. together. I’d prefer Picons
3. On the TV Guide (TV Button), the categories spacing is too much. What I’m saying when it lists the Movies, Sports, Kids, News etc it misses a line out between the categories. Othewise all the categories could fit on one page.
