Community Skins SVN

we have setup an SVN for all Skin Designers to store their work. This is to prevent all this hard work from getting lost.
The skins svn will provide a place were multiple Skin Designers can work on one skin, and where you will be able to track changes in your skin over the time.

SF page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp-plugins/

Code:

SVN: https://mp-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mp-plugins/trunk/skins

Please create a SourceForge account and PM your details to:

hwahrmann, rtv, james or infinityloop.

(or catch us in IRC)

We need to know your sourceforge user name and the you'll be able to commit changes.

Please note: You may not use/commit copyrighted material.

Important note: Do not commit packed*.* files, *.bak files or thumbs.db files.

Please have a look at the svn usage Guides for Designers.

Releasing your Skin

It's much easier for users to find skins in one centralized place rather than having to search the forums and/or the internet to find MediaPortal extensions. So please follow this:

Please get an account here:
http://www.team-mediaportal.com/comp...task,register/

After that, upload your plugin here:
http://www.team-mediaportal.com/inde...5&func=addfile

It would help a lot, if you would supply all graphic sources in a second package you'd also upload, so others could help extending your skin. Isn't that what's open source is about? :wink:

Please note: You may not use copyrighted material in your skins.

Important note: Remove all packed*.* files from your package or users won't be able to use your skins properly. Those files are created locally on ever user's HTPC.

If you want to update your package, just click on your skin and use "Update submission" on that page to update it.
