Can anyone tell me...

the graphics for the skin seem to be collated into 3 .png files under the skin's main folder, but there is a media folder with all the same graphics saved as separate files. What are they for?

performance reasons

Sorry? I guess I want to know if the others are used for anything? Do I have to bother with them?

My guess is no.

Each time you change the skin you need to delete the package of png files for your changes to show, media portal will re-create these on its first run if it doesnt find them.

They are packaged so they can be referenced quicker making media portal quicker.

Same thing goes for the xml

Hi Glenn,

In the mediafolder are all gfx inside for the skin.

The 3 or 4 png files in the skinfolder makes mp self by first start of the skin.
It is for faster loading the skingfx.

If you change a gfx in the mediafolder, you must delete the 3 or 4 png´s in the Skinfolder and also delete packedgfx.xml.
By the next start of mp it will make new png´s in the skinfolder and you can see then your changes.

Greetings Harley
