how to use parts of different skins together (2 Viewers)

[joostzilla]

I use a modified Blue Two Wide skin but like the movie part of a different skin. Is there any way to port it to my own skin? can I just use the other skins xml?

Anyone?

Not sure, but when a plugin may not be done in a new skin, then copying over the xml file for it seems to work.

That's not saying it works as the developer intended as things may be misaligned, why not try it and keep a copy of the original as backup, delete cache first though and if restoring original.

That seems to be the best way. I already tried it with the myvideo.xml from the foofaraw skin. basicly it worked but you were right about the allignment. But here comes the sad part... my knowledge of xml is very, very, very poor. So everything I do is based on trial and error. And some logical thinking. But its clearly not enough. I am a professional desinger but that xml part is holding me back from designing a skin from scratch.

I thought the skin engine was back up? At least the basics..
