Title: Old skins no longer work in MC20?
Post by: Lunatique on December 15, 2014, 11:59:23 pm: My favorite skin has always been the LP skin, which I've used ever since it was released, and even though I try new skins each time I upgraded MC, I always return to the LP skin. But it seems in MC20, old third-party skins are no longer supported?

I can't find the option to load custom skins in the new version though. It used to be in the Skin Manager, but that's missing from MC20. How do I load an old skin like LP in MC20?

Doesn't work. I copied the LP skin (843.mjp) over to C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 20\Skins, as well as also to the Standard View folder too, but when I boot up MC20 and look in the View/Skin menu, the LP skin is not listed, and there's no option to load it like in the older version's Skin Manager.

Post by: Lunatique on December 16, 2014, 07:34:48 pm: I finally got it to work, by dragging it onto MC and importing it, then double-clicking on it inside MC. What is the "proper" way to install it?

Oh man, that's so simple, yet I didn't even try it. I actually tried to change it to .exe to execute it but didn't work. I didn't think to just double-click on it, since it's not a .exe file... :P
