[QUOTE="SpudR, post: 360434, member: 54104"] I don't think the default skin should be supported by ALL plugins - who would be responsible for that to happen? The plugin developer (who suddenly becomes a skin developer too) or the skin designer (the devs in the case f the Blue 3 skins) The default skin should be FULLY compatible with any plugins it is installed with - beyond that it's up to the user to add/remove/configure as things go on. Also - I think a poll should be run to see who actually uses the blue skins as a default - in my case it's the first thing I change (I'm in the 'hate Mepoo' camp! Very childish IMHO) No point worrying about something that might be a minor issue :) Unless all possible skins support all the plugins, you are always going to get a situation where a plugin is installed and not compatible with a skin (some of the older, not supported ones don't support either Moving pictures or TVSeries - who would provide the XMLs for them?) Maybe a better way would be for the MPI installer to search the skins folder and only show the plugins for the skin currently used - then show a warning that changing the skin might break some plugins... The plugin devs would then need to prvide a list of the supported skin(s). [/QUOTE]
