''';;;';....Notes for jokerbird modified Nitro Skins....;';;;''' *I'm pleased to release 47 (Dreambox 4:3 NTSC) Skins specifically for Nitro, and they work wonderfully on all models 500/7000/7020. AND they are already tarballed for quick installation. Copy to /tmp/intall and install via the Addon Manager. I have just shy of 100 skins in my collection and plan to convert the rest to Nitro - see last note for the current problem. *All Main Menus and Expert Settings menus are visible. *When in Radio Mode, you will see the artist name/track name *only*. This will now appear as part of the infobar! I personally like this better than the defaults. *Red button for EPG - select Multi EPG - and wham! It opens fullscreen with complete service details. With my Nitro Skins, there is no need to hit 0 to minimize or maximize the EPG, it opens "expanded" by default. This again is personal preference, especially when using a skin with a transparent background. However, 0 is now used to scroll down one page at a time. There is no scroll up. *The SNR/AGC/BER meters are all visible & functioning. *Nitro currently does not support ECM/EMU/VID/CAM info, so the .esml files still hold the place holders for these functions for future use. As a result, you may see "dummy" images on the infobar or on other OSD menus. Not a big deal, these icons just won't light up (or change). Also older Skins relied on the default graphics of other images, which Nitro of course does not use. This results in certain skins using "default" Main Menu icons, so they may not look so good. I may eventually change the icon set. But then again who cares - who the hell stares at the menu anyways? *Due to png issue formats, Army, Joshua03, Jtec, and some Mimi74 skins will not work. This is due to the "Cannot blit 8bpp from 1bpp" error, also "...from 2bpp" & "... from 4bpp". I may have a solution, so if anyone has some suggestions - see the first post of this thread. *These skins will only work on Nitro!!!! If used on any other image they most likely will cause Enigma to crash - you have been warned. *All skins modified and converted by jokerbird. Browse the Skin Gallery for screenshots! Please note not all skins are available for Nitro - 54 more to go once the png issue is fixed. Download the skins in the Download Section, and be sure to choose the NITRO SKINS category. *Feel free to redistribute the skins or modify - I only ask if you repost, to give me the props, and of course the original authors. ciao for now!  |
