I am new to XBMC and this forum but I have a question:

Where can I find a XBMCTex download? I am working on a new skin, but read everywhere that I need XBMCTex to compile images to a .xpr file, but can't find the application.

Thanks for the help,
Thieske
It's in the tools/ folder in SVN.

Also xbmctex is not "needed" to make skins you can just leave the individual png files in the media folder but the skin will load images slightly faster if you put it in an xpr when you release it
