[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 342366, member: 10858"] The problem is not as easy as it sounds. There are many things that contribute to the fact that we dont want to provide any skin files for 3rd party plugins I - Extra work it causes, currently Harley is working almost alone on the B3/B3W so he has already too much workload II - If we provide .xml files for only some 3rd party plugins other plugin devs will feel they should have the same threatment -> as a result there will be nagging :) III - We cannot distribute the 3rd party plugin .xml files with the applications as they would get out dated at some point (most likely pretty soon) as the plugins itself are envolving) IV - When developer creates a plugin hé should be able to create some sort of skin files (for B3/B3W at least. Skin developers should be using those as the starting point for 1) making the B3/B3W skin files better 2) providing support for other skins) ...so, if developer is not able to provide skin files for the default B3/B3W skin he/she should ask some skinner in the MP community to provide such files that then can be distributed within the plugin installation (preferably MPI) [/QUOTE]
