Title: Turn off skins?
Post by: belwig on October 17, 2007, 07:55:04 pm

I use remote desktop a lot to access my MC machine. Skins tends to slow this down by adding graphics, whereas RD seems to be optimized for 'normal' windows. Is there a way to turn off skinning completely and just use normal windows UI elements? Thanks.

No, Not Since Before MC9.1

and windows xp silver look...

I've put them both up here (http://www.theganghut.co.uk/files/mc/noskins.zip) if you're interested. Just unzip the contents to your "MC install directory\megaskins\" folder.

Hi Marko - thread hijack. I just wanted to say that your album D above (David Gilmour) is one of my all time favorites...
