Monochrome and MP 1.1 Beta (1 Viewer)

[markrb]

I installed Windows 7. So I figured I would try the new Beta while I am at it.
It all seems to work now after a few initial issues, but I cannot figure out how to install this skin.
I have installed it plenty of times with previous releases on Vista, but the directory structure looks different to me now.
Is the Skins directory still there and Win 7 just hiding it or has MP changed it's structure?

Thanks,
Mark

Bit of both, from 1.1 the location of the skin dir has changed, can now be found in ProgamData area - C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin to exact.

The C:\ProgramData directory is hidden by the OS by default, to get to it there are a couple of options

1. Start->My Computer and type c:\programdata into the top bar

2. What I do, though may be reasons why this is not recomended...

From a command prompt do

attrib c:\programdata -h

This will make the directory visable when browsing.

Cheers
