[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1144781, member: 109222"] Hi. The default skin is in "SkinBase" This can be done with Explorer. Simply create a new empty folder with a name you like. Inside this new folder make another folder named "Skin". Then copy the "plugin.xml" file from "Reflection" skin into the new folder (not in Folder named "Skin") and change the Plugin ID inside the plugin.xml. PluginId="{CA7543A8-D7DF-44BC-A6AC-75AB3911FE43}" this long hex number inside {} is a so called GUID. You can find some GUID generators in internet by simply google them... You should replace "Reflection" with your chosen name in every part of the xml file. In the "DependsOn" section of the xml there are three lines. The first one sets the skin basis to the default skin. The other two lines can be removed if you don't want to use various backgrounds or weather informations... Now you have generated a new skin based upon the default skin. You can select this new Skin in the MP2 Client but you won't notice any difference to default as you didn't change any skin files. now. The rest you can encounter by looking at e.g. Reflection skin folder. A .dll normally isn't necessary for a skin. This is needed only if the skin needs some extra features (like the main menu in BlueVision or Apollo Skin). Such dll are written in .NET as any other part of MP2. But most important is to read the wiki before you start: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/8_Contribute/Skin_Design[/URL] Then you hopefully understand the general structure of skinning in MP2...
