[QUOTE="pilehave, post: 670975, member: 71550"] Albert...in the original skinning contest thread, I expressed my worries about just dropping a half-baked product into the skinning bowl, and adding a reference to a lot of pretty technical Wiki-pages and a "go look it up at Microsoft" link. First; I appreciate all the work you and everyone else has done on MP2. MP1 was pretty simple to skin. Just copy Blue 3 Wide skin-folder and edit PNG's and XML. Basic stuff... I have spend 3-4 whole nights on trying to figure out how to change something as simple as a label in MP2.
