Known issues
- non-EN languages not all updated (see Transifex below for details).
- A few small issues when first using the skin, will be resolved (are described below).
- If you have already have Xperience1080 installed, you'll need to reset your skin settings (Skin Settings -> Advanced -> Reset Skin)
- If you don't see the correct language strings, please select another language, then go back to yours.
- The default texture set is now Xperience1080, you can select 1080XF from the Themes part in Appearance.
- You will lose your skin customisations, sorry about that. I won't be changing the name of the skin again.
Moving from the Xperience1080/1080XF Beta to Xperience1080 repository
- If you've been testing the Xperience1080 beta, you shouldn't need to do much. Your settings should still work (the repo version is the last stable testing version).
- If you've been testing the 1080XF beta, you'll need to follow the above.
