[QUOTE="tomtom21000, post: 5232, member: 10287"] As you all know, I am no programmer and cannot do xml :) There is an increasing number of skins (4 new ones are under development) and an increasing number of plugins. Both is fantastic. I wonder if it makes sense to implement a default gui screen for plugins, when nothing especially defined for this plugin is found. For example: Place 6 buttons on the left side, a headline and a text area. One button may be reserved for switching (like view). If the plugin uses only 3 buttons, the other 3 will remain emty or are suppressed. Don´t know where the actions of the buttons are defined and if they are general or very specific for the plugin. Maybe have action 1 assigned to button 1 and let the plugin say what action 1 is. Probably all nonsense I am writing. The idea is, can there be a way to let basic functions of a plugin work in any skin without adjusting the skin? I could imagine some sort of a more generalistic concept will be needed to make all skins compatible with all plugins. Maybe the skin editor can help here, too, at lest later on.
