I've just got the latest v5 skin installed on my new xtrend box but no longer have the categories taps along the top in the menu showing you Documentaries, sport etc.
Can someone help Please?

Thats a custom mod to enable tabs on the sky skin , have a read on kiddacs skin skin thread and also search for the skin mod thread for instructions how to do it, if its kiddacs skin then look in the dropbox where you downloaded the skin from and read the instrucions in getting tabs re added look in Skins / SlyK Hd Version 5 / skin modifications / Sky Epg Bouquet with tabs on the dropbox

You might not be able to do it, as kiddac has left he took his drop box with him
and you need to download a file to make it work

 

[gypo]

i never thought of that, anyone got the file please?
Thanks

Use xmlwrench to edit
Files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kn6apupi45vs8an/AAA1GLMBPjwnaoFCVNiWaD7Za?dl=0
Edit the extras.xml and its right at the top that you need to edit. Something like epg tabs change the number 1 to a 2 I think

I got xml wrench but can't figure out how to open the file in it?
Thanks

Open xmlwrenxh and then drag extras.xml into it

 

[gypo]

It won't let me drop it in there for some reason?

 

[maionline]

Try this:
Pull the extras.xml and drag it your desktop. Then open xml:wrench click file at the top left corner and then open. Then select the file on your desktop.
Once edited click save and then drag it back to your box

"GraphicalEPGPIG" position="0,0" size="1280,720" backgroundColor="backgroundmid" flags="wfNoBorder">
<panel name="GraphicalEPGPIG1" />
</screen>

<screen name="GraphicalEPG" position="0,0" size="1280,720" backgroundColor="backgroundmid" flags="wfNoBorder">

Change it to graphicalepg2 instead of graphicalepg1. Both of them. Then click save and then drag it back to the box and overwrite. Once done restart the box not just gui to be safe
