[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1192172, member: 18896"] [USER=68833]@ajs[/USER], no I mean how MediaPortal supports theme expansions now or whatever it is called, so your theme folder would only contain 'references.xml' and a few other files, and then rely 99% on the base theme. That way on future changes they automatically merge, with the only exception being the files you actually changed, but in that case WinMerge FTW indeed. I just could never get it to work 100%, so I ended up copying the base theme in its entirety and then adjust it. PS: Was annoyed I couldn't remember what it was called, but it is "themes" indeed, and skin developer explanation available @ [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/7_Skins/Skin_Architecture/Skin_Themes[/URL] I just remember the struggles I had to have MediaPortal accept all my file replacements, like it would accept some, but not others... then again last time I did this was on MediaPortal v1.14 or some, so who knows might have been a bug they fixed since.
