    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.

    If you are using any of my existing skins, switch to default skin before installing the IPK, so there is no clashing with the custom components I use.



    Q) I want to edit/faff/mod your skin, where do your files live on my box


    A) /usr/share/enigma2/slyk-q-1080



    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) My display seems to cut some of your skin off. How do I recenter everything.


    A) Menu... setup...system...user interface...position setup



    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.



    Movie Player Questions


    Q) My movie planner isn't skinned


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



    Q) My movie planner is all squashed up


    A) Press menu button on movie planner and set the number of rows to <=14




    InfoBar Questions


    Q) Pressing OK twice brings up event view and not 2nd infobar.


    A) See recommended settings above. (OSD Settings)


    Q) What picons can I use with your skin


    A) Any size. I now have a custom picon resizer so all picons will upscale or downscale nicely.



    Q) Why has my picons got a coloured background


    A) OSD settings. Show picon background colour – Disabled



    EPG Questions


    Q) My epg doesn't look like your screen shots.


    A) Press menu on the epg and change the display type to graphics and not text.

    You might have the expanded epg displaying. If so hold the TV button on the epg to switch between normal and expanded epg.



    Q) My epg looks all squashed up. How do I make it more spread out like yours


    A) On EPG, press menu change the timescale option to be less. i.e 120 minutes.



    Q) On the EPG how do I switch between the bouquets.


    A) Press Prev or Next button. Or press TV button to bring up a bouquet list

    Toppicks only appears on the main menu. There is currently no alternative main menu without the toppicks graphics.

    If you do not install the toppicks mod, the main menu graphics will remain static.


    How to enable toppicks

    v1.48 Slyk Q Skin

    New IPK on post 1


    Openatv 7.4 Skin amends for...
    Quick Menu
    Help Menus
    Language Selection
    OSD Calibration (UserInterfacePositioner)
    HDMI CEC Setup


    v1.14 Shared components

    New IPK on post 1

    Tweaks to some of my slyk18ServicePosition code.
    Do note timeshift pause values are broke on openatv 7.4. You will need to pause/play/pause to show the correct numbers.
    Its obviously not updating the values on timeshift load. Their fault not mine.

    ** A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected **

    v1.51 Slyk Q Skin New IPK on post 1

    Fixed invalid colour reference in virtual keyboard.

    Updated posts above to reflect the new KiddaC Skin Essentials plugin for toppicks and movie planner mod.

    v1.54 Slyk Q Skin New IPK on post 1 - Main skin file

    New Message box code - so should work much better with any length text.

    Hacked the EPGImportConfig screen (which was stupidly changed to use Setup screen although the elements differ), so now the status count and info/menu buttons appears correctly.
    Fixed the screen size of EPGImportLog
