[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 986079, member: 18896"] Keep in mind that sometimes MediaPortal or a related plugin only loads certain skin files once, in worst case you have to close MediaPortal and restart it before it will take your changes (changing certain artwork even requires erasing cache folder). In most cases however changing to a different view (which loads a different XML file) works as well.

Creating a share with read/write access on the 'skin' folder works as well and then you can just edit the files, and CTRL+S them inside notepad/etc and watch your changes take effect. Of course this all assumes you do have a 2nd computer that you can use at the same time that you view the MediaPortal output. This would be a lot easier if I had 1.3 installed myself and was using Titan skin as well.
