when helios build 11 is online.

im not sure how to make the ipk so it will pick up future updates as the skin is provided through feeds now.

if build 11 isnt here by tomorrow, i'll sort something out.

since the skin was put in the feeds alot more work has been done to it, so you'll be getting the most upto date version.


we have been busy adding some nice bits.
 
I agree with judge. Although it looks nice it just takes up space for instance in the channel list where the video display of the channel could be bigger and the font bigger for channel listing if the button graphics are not there.

Yes, it's a good skin & uses good graphics, that button bar annoys me as it can't be used...
Better to use that location for real info IMO.
No need to mimic an E2 box to look like a SKY box, use it to show SKY users what they're missing...

SKY has the best user experience of any box out there in my opinion, and this skin aims to mirror that on a notoriously complicated box for beginners who are used to sky. The bar at the top completes the skin in my opinion, what GUI doesn't have bits that are only there for effect? I think the skin is great and I certainly would not remove the bar at the top, it makes it perfect! :)
 
@rossi2000 is there a way to get bouquets to list at the top like on a sky box? eg. beside all channels is entertainment etc.
Thanks!

Thats objective as is my opinion.

The bar at the top does nothing but use a useful area for a dead graphic though?

Of course it is,my reasoning was that sky has amazing series link and planner features, EPG that auto-updates silently, less glitches etc. However that's beside the point, it may be a "dead" graphic but the skin aims to mimic sky, and without that graphic it wouldn't look right. removing it wouldn't save much room anyway as the mini TV would still block more channels being added etc.
 
Nothing like a healthy debate haha...

Go faster stripes on cars have no function apart from looking good.

My personal opionin is yer thy don't have a function currently, but it keeps in the style of what we wanted and keeps the mrs happy too that it looks like what she knows. And that's priceless haha

Enjoy guys

SKY & Rupert also have millions of $$$ to limit user choices. ViX & skinners not so lucky... but better off.

don't misinterpret what I said as complaining lol ViX is fantastic It's the reason why I got an expensive vu box over a cheap dual tuner clone!
I'm just saying that for whatever reason sky does have a very user-friendly and feature rich box (for people that just want to watch TV) and this amazing skin tries to mirror that, which is why I think the image whilst functionally useless is neeed:)

Removing it would give the channel list screen as much space as the Vix Night screen which has a larger video display and even room to show what is showing Now and Next for a program with descriptions. Yes it does make it look nice but I think that the channel list screen is the one that would benefit most if it were excluded from it

User friendly = working buttons. A skin that has useless graphics to display non working buttons will never be user friendly.
 
Is there a way to turn off the = sign on the channel info?
101=BBC1? Don't think an = sign is on the Sky platform

You are missing the point mate, this skin is made to mimic sky, down to finer details which it does do whether or not vix has the functionality for a menu at the top or not. If you removed that "useless" graphic the skin wouldn't look as good and people would miss it. By your logic you wouldn't include any graphic that doesn't do something - what sort of UX would that be? This skin (in my opinion) is light years ahead of the default theme on ViX or vix night because it includes graphics that make my box look more like sky.
