Hi

first make sure the skin is compatible to your image . if so then ftp the file to tmp .

then say if you are using the blackhole image you would need to press green then yellow button .

this would give you the option to install the file manually . press ok to do that & restart enigma & go to menu -settings -skins & choose your new skin .

pretty much install it the same way you would a .ipk file although as the post above me said make sure the skin ism compatible with your image as some can end up in a full on greenscreen bootloop

ok guy's 1st this is the skin i want to install VuConcinnityHD-by-HOLI i'm sure it's compatable.

2nd i did try to install it by copying the tar.gz to /tmp then blue button/vix/install lcal extension.

Just unzip the files on your PC, then copy the folder to /usr/share/enigma2
Then it will be listed in Menu --> settings --> System --> Skins

ok thanks Rob

but does it overwrite the existing file(s) or are they catered for in the new skin.

installed the package manually....and got the GSOD

it say's it's for the VIX image not for me it aint.

Based on Kernis DMConcinnity-HD skin. Skin should be support BlackHole, Vti, Vix and OpenPli images. There are many modifications. I put some new graphics.

there you go

one file in the wrong place is all it takes :nono:

it's all ok now.
