>>> BRAND NEW SKIN: Dream in Blue <<<
zybex:
@bob,
One other thing that I don't know if it's normal: the skin is extracted to "Skins\Standard View\Dream in Blue", and also to "Skins\Theater View" (without a subfolder). It seems it should create a subfolder there as well?

The problem is not related to the 877.mjp file; this file is a simple text file that just points to the ZIP which needs to be downloaded by MC.

Correct. And then MC executes the mjp file (because it owns the mjp file extension).

You can read the mjp file with a text editor like notepad.
mjp stands for Media Jukebox Package.

First, thanks to Bob for pointing me to this new skin (in another unrelated thread).
Second, BIG THANKS to the author for making this! Nice looking skin. I've been using Marko's Black and Blue Too (HC SB) for years now. It's a good skin. This is a nice change that's brighter, yet still subdued.
I'm still "stuck" on MC26 so I needed the "X" close button on the tabs. That was very easy to enable. Next the font size in the Player area (up top) was too small. That was very easy to find. Two tweaks later (160 for title font, 120 for status font) and it's nice and legible on my system. <hits big red button> "That was easy!"
I'm using this on a 27" 5k iMac. Strangely, this 5k native screen runs at a scaled "2.5k" by default. I think it's so fonts look normal and stuff. The Mac is doubling what it gets from the OS. It yields a really smooth and sharp looking display. But technically it's not even a 4k resolution. Despite that, this skin (which is designed for 4k monitors) looks very good on my 27" display.
I'll be trying this out for a few days and see how permanent it becomes in my setup.
Brian.

Wow... I thought confining the skin download to the accessories page would make life simpler, but apparently I opened up a can-o-worms instead.
I can confirm that using the MJP self-installer directly (i.e. NOT downloading first and then manual launching the zip), it extracts the entire Dream in Blue folder contents into top level of the Theater View folder. Not sure when I would have discovered that without zybex's post. That has never happened when I have grabbed any other skin over the last 15 years. I deleted all those files and ran it again just now, and yep... extracted all the files to the Theater View folder again.
That said, it DID install to the Standard View folder perfectly without file/folder duplication or any other issues. I also see the skin download counter on the accessories page is now working... Thanks Bob!
