LumoraFHD – new skin for OpenBH 6.0 (work in progress)

[tud2007]

Hello friends,

I'm working on a new skin called LumoraFHD for OpenBH 6.0. Most of it was developed with AI, as I don't have much free time. Even so, it took several days of work. Respect to those who earlier manually skinned every screen and detail without AI

It's still unfinished. I haven't covered all the screens yet, and I'm still testing the layouts. It comes with a Lumora Style plugin that offers fixed color themes as well as custom colors. You can even pick a football team and the skin takes on its colors and logo, as in the last screenshot

I need a bit more time before I can release it, even for a first public test. I mainly use OpenBH and can only test on my Vu+ Uno4K SE, so I can't promise it works on other images or boxes. For that reason I'll share it only here in this forum once it's ready.

Feedback and screenshots are welcome in the meantime.



Regards

Would you be kind enough to share the renderer for the round progress bar?

 

[tud2007]

Hi, there is no separate renderer for the skin; everything is embedded in the style plugin and inline applets within the skin. I'll try to publish the first design by tomorrow. I also need to learn how to create an IPK package

Need your help to create IPK package.

Need your help to create IPK package.

To create an .ipk package for Enigma2 receivers, you must arrange your plugin files into a specific Unix directory structure alongside a mandatory CONTROL metadata directory, and then pack them using a build tool.
You can build the file directly on your Enigma2 box using ipkg-build via Telnet/SSH.

---

1. Set Up the Workspace Directory
Connect to your receiver via FTP (using a client like FileZilla) and create a workspace directory on your hard drive or USB stick, for example:
/media/hdd/myipk/


2. Replicate the Enigma2 Target Directory Tree
Inside your workspace folder, create the exact folder structure where your plugin files belong on the receiver. For example, if your plugin files go into the standard extension directory, build this structure:
/media/hdd/myipk/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/MyPluginName/
Place all your Python files (.py), skins, and assets inside that final directory.


3. Create the CONTROL Metadata Folder
In the root of your workspace (/media/hdd/myipk/), create a new folder named exactly CONTROL (all uppercase). Inside this folder, create a plain text file named control (all lowercase) with no file extension. Open it with a Linux-compatible text editor (like Notepad++ or VS Code, using LF line endings) and fill out the package metadata:

Package: enigma2-plugin-extensions-mypluginname
Version: 1.0
Description: A short description of what my plugin does.
Section: extra
Priority: optional
Maintainer: YourName
Architecture: all
Depends: enigma2

(Optional: You can also place postinst or preinst shell scripts inside the CONTROL folder if you need custom scripts to run right after or before installation).


4. Package the IPK via Terminal

1. Establish a Telnet or SSH connection to your receiver using a terminal or PuTTY.
2. Install the compilation tools on your receiver if they aren't already present. You can download and manually install opkg-tools or Ipkg_Builder, or run:
   bash
   

   opkg update && opkg install opkg-utils

   
   
   
3. Navigate to your staging folder and pack the directory:
   bash
   

   cd /media/hdd/ipkg-build myipk

   Use code with caution.
   
   (Note: Depending on the image, the command might be opkg-build myipk).

Your finished .ipk file will be generated directly inside /media/hdd/.

Need your help to create IPK package.

you can use this tool
enigma2-plugin-extensions-opkg-tools_1.4_all.ipk

FYI:
The ipk or folder you are trying to pack / unpack must be in /hdd/ipkg-tools folder.

Build ipk packages is really simply.
You don't need strange plugins or devel tools.

1) Upload the file enigma2-plugin-extensions-opkg-tools_1.4_all.ipk in your /tmp and install via addons manual install panel
2) Create a work directory in you box like for example /media/hdd/ipkg-tools/myipk
3) Prepare your plugin with full directory tree (ie usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/meoboot)
4) Prepare a folder named CONTROL (uppercase) and put inside the file control (lowercase). If you need you can add the files preinst and postinst too.
5) Upload plugin full path folder and CONTROL folder in your work directory: /media/hdd/ipkg-tools/myipk
6) digit command from telnet

cd /media/hdd/ipkg-tools/

ipkg-build myipk

ALL DONE. You will find your package in your /media/hdd/ipkg-tools/ folder
