[QUOTE="c.hilding, post: 245622, member: 26949"] No, it would have to be a custom zip handler built-in into MediaPortal, or [url=https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/skins-50/transparent-zip-support-storing-skins-20786/index2.html#post144004]implemented as a .dll[/url]. :) As has already been said, zipped themes could actually load faster than regular themes, because MP wouldn't have to open hundreds of file handles to tiny little fragmented/spread out (physically) on the disk theme files to read the theme into memory from. And as for skin designers, they could still design skins quickly exactly the way they are used to, since a skin [I]folder[/I] would have to take precedence over the existence of a [I].zip file[/I], so they could keep working as usual until the skin is finished, which is when they would just zip the theme and distribute it.
