*UPDATED* Slyk Onyx 1080 (Install - FAQs)

Welcome to Slyk Onyx 1080 (Version 2.50) **last updated 29/09/2025

This skin is an accumulation of all my other skins and has been specifically designed for enigma2 layouts. Copying other provider EPGs may make your box look similar to the real thing but it can result in confusing screens and confusing functionallity. So we have gone back to basics on this skin. Clean, simple, functional. A skin for me. A skin maybe for you.

The skin is based heavily on my Slyk Q skin (because that is a very nice skin), but most of the graphics have been refreshed, layouts tweaked, and a few things borrowed from slyk1hd and vskin.

As this is a dark/night skin, I have purposely included my all new toppicks graphics/scripts into my design to give it a splash of colour. Toppicks can be removed if prefered though.

KiddaC Skin E2sentials

KiddaC Skin E2sentials - Official Release.
V 1.07 - 24/02/2026

Welcome to my new combined Skin E2sentials plugin.

This plugin is designed to bring together several of my smaller, standalone plugins into one simple and user-friendly interface.

With E2sentials, there's no longer any need to manually edit files or set up cron timers—everything is managed directly through the plugin.

As part of this transition, the individual plugins will soon be removed from GitHub and feeds, making this the go-to…

Frequently Asked Questions

General Skin Questions

Q) Do I have to uninstall any previous skins.

A) No. You can install as many skins as you want. All my skins are sequentially named so you just need to install my skins over the top of old ones.

There should no longer be any clashes with other installed skins custom components.

Q) Does your skin work on Weteks

A) Yes and No. I believe it does now work on later versions of pbnigma, but there were problems with older versions. Just try it and see.

Q) Will slyk skin work on [random box name]

A) Just try it and see. It will either work, be part skinned, or not install at all. It won't break anything

Q) I am struggling to use FTP software. Can I install your skin via a USB Stick

A) Yes. You need to have the correct folder structure on your usb though. create a media folder. Inside that create a usb folder. Inside that place your ipk file.... media/usb/file.ipk

Q) I have been faffing with your skin and now my box only counts up to 49 and then boot loops. Do I need to reflash.

A) If your box is stopping at 49 count up. This is usually a skin problem. Either undo your last edit and save. Or delete my entire skin folder and
install it again. Your box will then continue to load normally. No reflash required.

Q) Will installing your skin reset all my personal settings

A) Installing a skin does not effect any of your settings on your box. Installing a new version will override any modifications you have made in the skin files or extras.xml though.

Q) Skin wont install as its conflicting with existing components.

A) Telnet into your box and force install it with this command. opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/*.ipk

Movie Player Questions

Q) My movie planner isn't skinned

A) By default you box will use Enhanced Movie Center. This is not skinned. Either remove or disable EMC in plugins menu.
