Been using MP1 for several months - quite liked it !

Upgraded to latest version of MP2 today, how do you:-

1) Keep MP2 `Always on Top` by default ?

2)Change Skins ?

many thanks

Many thanks for that - what I meant to say was how do you keep MP2 on top in WINDOWED mode ?

Apologies for not being accurate

    For this you need to install the latest dev release. There you have a third mode, windowed on top. You can toggle between them via alt+enter.

    The release I use already let's me toggle using Alt and Enter but my new window just doesn't stay on top which did happen in MP1.

    Also, I don't have an option in Settings to change my skin. Perhaps there is something I haven't downloaded ?

    You can change the skin when following the instruction from Lehmden. Important is that you press once again enter when selecting "skins" in the left side of the menu. Usually this is the problem.

    Yes, exactly what I've meant. The SR15 Update 1 allows toggle between two modes, but the latest dev snapshot has three.
    And this third option is "windowed on top". There are also more changes included, so please check the related subforum here for details. (Posting links via tapatalk is too complicated ;))

    @morpheus_xx
    There were many users, who could not change the skin, because they couldn't see the skin screen on right side. I also had the problem in the very beginning :)
    Not a critical point, but perhaps it can be made little bit easier to each there intuitively.

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.
