[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1158002, member: 141969"] Looking at the "Amped" skin, each theme seems to be simply a folder within the "Themes" folder, so I created a folder called "Simian" in the "Themes" folder for "DefaultWide", started MP, and then selected that theme. So far so good. :) Also from looking at "Amped" and "DefaultWide", it looks as though each theme folder contains within it the same folder tree as the "Skins" folder, but with files in the theme folder tree overriding the corresponding files in the "Skins" folder tree. This is where things start to go wrong. :( Two of the files that I want to modify are "strings_en.xml" and "strings_en-GB.xml" residing in the "Language" folder, but this folder resides [i]outside[/i] the "Skins" folder. Consequently, there is no folder within the theme folder where these files can be placed. Nevertheless, I made a test modification to "strings_en.xml", placed the modified file in my "Simian" folder, and restarted MP. However, as expected, MP did not pick up my modification. :( If there had been some other way within MP of achieving what I want, I imagine that you would have mentioned it, so I guess that currently there is no support for this. :cry: -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
