You probably know Ocram. He is doing some great work by updating great picon database in multiple resolutions (SD and HD). Recently he moved to a new website called picons.org where you can download always latest version of his picons. There is also a feed which enables you to easily download your wanted picons and what is even better, updates are easier now because you get newest picons by just updating the image, for example OpenPLi.

For download please visit this site: http://www.picons.org/downloads.html

In order to start using feed, follow these easy instructions: Download ocram-feed.conf and install the file in ‘/etc/opkg’ on your receiver. You need to use FTP of course, I assume you know how to use FTP 🙂

MetrixHD has quickly become one of the most popular skins and it is no surprise that almost every month we get new modification of original skin.

I myself use one of the  modifications and everything is fine except picons can be a pain. If you want them to look amazing, you need to use so called XPicons which are larger than normal ones. Till now we only had limited choice of these picons (23.5E and 19.2E) but recently user ocram decided to release his batch of XPicons or SHD as he call them. Currently there are more than 5500 SHD picons. You can also get smalled ones. For download visit his homepage on github! Making picons require a lot of work so please consider donating 😉

I decided to search for all picon makers who are still updating their picons. And i made nice collection that i would like to share with you guys and girls who are reading my blog. Picons can be used on all Enigma 2 satellite receivers!

User Ocram is maintaining one of the best collections out there. Why? Because it is constantly updated with new picons and you can download three different variants (SD, HD and SHD). Especially SHD picons are interesting because MetrixHD skin is using them.
