Ok, it's available, thanks...  but then how I update it?  ::)
Do I need to post a new skin on the skins submission page, or try to update  (which I already tryed)?

The skin I posted has some problems (no checkbox!) and I changed some small other things, so I tryed to update it ( http://accessories.musicex.com/mediacenter/submitplugin.php ) with an Accessory ID = 729

Did I make something wrong?

Nice looking skin.

Hey, when you find the answer to your question...I would like to know also. A lot of my skins need updating.

I really like this skin, however, it's still missing checkboxes.  Would really appreciate another try at updating the skins page.  Many thanks.

Thanks Shelly.

The problem is that there's a entry in the skin's configuration file (main.xml) to change the default checkboxes :
Code: [Select]
<FRAME>
[...]
     <Entry Name="CheckBox" Bitmap="Frame_CheckBox.gif" NumberImages="8" />
</FRAME>
... but it doen't work. (I'm not sure if it should or not)
If someone know how to make the checkboxes availbles, just drop a message here. :)

The skin has other flaws (no mute and continous play buttons!). I'll try to fix and update during this week end.

David.

David,

I know absolutely nothing about skinning (except that this thread will probably be moved to the skinning forum ::)), but you gave me enough of a hint that I was able to compare your main.xml to some others.  It appears that you are missing the .png files for radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.  I copied them from another skin and it worked!!!  By the way, while you are making changes, perhaps you could make another version that displays Media Center 11 rather than 10 at the top.  Thanks again for the terrific job.

Shelly

Edit:
As I said I know nothing about skinning.  When I right click on a song, MC11 now crashes. ?

I've made some minor modifications to the skin, you can find the thread and skin here :
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=23613 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=23613)

It appears that you are missing the .png files for radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.  I copied them from another skin and it worked!!!  

I'm impressed ;)! I've double checked and still can't figure how to change these checkboxes!
I would really appreciate a post in the new thread (about how you made them change, which image, from which skin....) on the new thread.

Done. :)

I doubt it was caused by the modifications you made...

Thanks,
David.

I like this! Blue is my favorite color, and this has now become my favorite skin. :)

I've got a fix for the radio buttons when you delete a track. If anyone wants it, just e-mail me.
