    My favorites from there are Nemesis.BlackBox and Nemesis.Greyline.Single.
    If you want me I can repack them to powerpc ipks.


    That will be nice !


    But how are they working directly ? I tries brushedalu from that link - the size was wrong. Not 720x576.


    Also I posted some kerni skins here :-


    Some Enigma 2 skins for DM600pvr


    Please check with those first.


    The elgato skin is nice - if you can make it work from the link.


    For future use - I made two plugins to convert skin sizes. Do you want them ?

    But how are they working directly ?


    I didn't try hd skins because I knew they wouldn't display properly because of the resolution. Plus, I've got a CRT TV so this makes situation even worse. :)
    Please post the plugin and I may play with the elgato skin.

    Please test these skins.
    I tried them and they work OK.
    I can then make additional ipks with the rest of skins.


    I tried elgato-hd but the colours are wrong.
    Instead of beautiful blue I get an ugly shade of green.
    I don't think it's worth converting to sd resolution.

    Here are the two plugins.


    In both you will find two lines like these :-


    hf = float(720)/float(1280)
    vf = float(576)/float(720)


    These for example will change the skin from 1280x720 to 720x576.


    Put the skin.xml in /etc. Then first run SkinPosMod - then SkinSizeMod. Then the result is in /etc/skin2.xml. Rename and try that. If necessary - the font size % can be changed in skin.xml fonts section. Some pics may need changing. I use GIMP for that.


    Tip : The original skin.xmls have many items unnecessary for our images. So - I usually only keep infobar, mainmenu and channelselection screens from hd skins. Just copy these parts only for conversion. You can also delete many pngs to save space.


    Cheers, pcd.


    The two skins look very nice. In skin.xml screen mainmenu - please insert these lines to see the extrasetup pic :-


    Code
    <widget source="menu" render="Pixmap" pixmap="DF2menu/extrasetup2.png" position="20,20" size="128,128" alphatest="on">
			<convert type="MenuEntryCompare">extrasetup_selection</convert>
			<convert type="ConditionalShowHide" />
		</widget>


    And put the attached in folder DF2menu. Please rename it extrasetup2.png.


    Cheers.

    I played a little today with this and I was able to put extrasetup pic in merlin magic, Nemesis.BlackBox and Nemesis.Greyline.Single skins. :)


    I also tried your plugins to convert elgato-hd to sd resolution but I was partially successful. I managed to change size and positions but I still wasn't able to see most of the menues. Then I manually changed


    <output id="0">
    <resolution xres="1280" yres="720" bpp="32" />
    </output>


    to


    <output id="0">
    <resolution xres="720" yres="576" bpp="32" />
    </output>


    and I got a correctly positioned channel list but the infobar is missing as well as entries in the main menu.

    Ok, I will also look at the Elgato.


    I will be away for a few days after tomorrow. But I hope we can release our images in early January. Please give some thought as to what we can have in the images - without much work !


    Cheers.
