I have to be honest now, and I think its a major short coming of all skins... There is no REAL integration with other plugins or installation guides etc.
When you download a plugin it will have a skins directory with .xml files in there and some images.
Now I know the images and .xml files are required, but could maybe a select number of skins (Top5 by popularity) be selected for development and integration with say the top 5 plugins. With detailed installation guides based on the version of Media Portal etc.
For plugins like:
1. MyTV
2. MyFilms.
3. MyEmulators etc
MyEmulators seems to only be configured to work with Blue two wide, which personally I dont use, and from what I see not many other people do either.
Now if Im missing something then someone help me out, but I have tried to find details on this, and one of the headaches I have is trying to install everything and run it with one skin obviously.
What does eveyone else think?
I think a major improvement to skin installations would be the addition of what items in Media Portal must be set for the skin to work perfectly, such as Thumb nail stuff, I mention this because I still cannot get DVD cover art to appear in my small and large icons!!
