[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1176475, member: 153283"] I suspect there may be a chicken and egg situation here. I am only guessing but I think I have to tell the SkinSettings.xml file that the theme to use is, say, 'Tony'. If the 'Tony' folder contains a file called SkinSettings.xml, then how will it know to use that file, because it's already read the SkinSettings.xml file in the DefaultWideHD folder? I have found that when I copy the default SkinSettings.xml file into the standard location, then the default main screen is displayed. When I copy by customized SkinSettings.xml file into the standard location then I get the customized behaviour. However, when I put the customized SkinSettings.xml file into the Tony theme folder I get the standard behaviour. I have placed a theme.xml file into the Tony theme folder. I was under the impression that any file in the Theme folder would override the same file in the default folder without needing to place all of the of the skin files in the theme folder. I may well have misunderstood how this works so I would welcome any advice. Tony [/QUOTE]
