Skin info please

[Gerry55]

Could someone please tell me is there a skin that will install to a Duo2 with Black Hole 2.0.5 rev. B image installed, that has Orange/yellow text in the channel list epg info text?

Sorry can't answer if it's available on blackhole but my metrixhd hd skin allows you to change the colours within the skin to whatever suits.

Hi Duoduo
Thanks for the info but I'm unable to find it for Black Hole.

I don't exactly understand what screen you are speaking about...

Anyway, if you have some skill in ftp and file editing, download your skin.xml file, open it with a suitable editor, and search for the appropriate screen you want to modify, for example:

screen name="ChannelSelection"

and then find something like this:

<widget name="list"
.....
foregroundColor="unbbbbbb"
foregroundColorServiceNotAvail="#666666"
colorEventProgressbarSelected="#ffffff"
colorServiceDescription="#7f7f7f"
colorServiceDescriptionSelected="#fee2a0"
......  />

and then edit the color values as you like.

To test the changes you have to reupload the modified skin.xml file (overwriting the existent), check for correct file permissions (644), and finally with the power button menu restart only the GUI (not the box).

Remember to save a copy of your original skin.xml to restore initial conditions if needed.

Hi Eragon
its the description in brackets that tell you what is on the channel, that comes after the channel name, in the user bouquets page.

It should be exactly my example above!

<widget name="list"
.....
foregroundColor="unbbbbbb"
foregroundColorServiceNotAvail="#666666"
colorEventProgressbarSelected="#ffffff"
colorServiceDescription="#7f7f7f"
colorServiceDescriptionSelected="#fee2a0"
......
/>

To get the color you like for the program name (the text surrounded by brackets) you have to change::

for unselected items (normally they appear light grey on the screen):
colorServiceDescription="#xxyyzz"

for the selected item (normally it apperas light orange on the screen):
colorServiceDescriptionSelected="#xxyyzz"

Use this web page to test your color codes:

(remove embedded spaces)

[Eragon]

one last thing could you please tell me were I will find the skin xml file?

If you have installed a different skin from the BH default, under that folder /usr/share/enigma2 you have to look for a folder with the name of the skin you're currently using.
In this folder there are the skin.xml file itself and all the files and the structure of your skin.
