Hey together,
recently I was trying to modify some parts of a skin to my need.
The most tedious thing for me was to restart xbmc everytime I wanted to check if a posX value or something is fitting.
Is there an easier way to refresh a skin?
(note that I leave XBMC open on my htpc and edit the skin files via network)
You can do tqo things. Set a key to refresh the skin or go to appearance and set a different skin then switch back to the one you are working on.

I work the same way its easiest to either create a custom button on the main menu to reload the skin, or map it to an empty key on your remote.
Here's mine -
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<F5>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</F5>
<F4>Skin.ToggleSetting(DebugGrid)</F4>
<F6>Notification(Testing 123,Hello world)</F6>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>
F5 reloads the skin so I can see changes quickly
F4 followed by F5 displays the debug grid texture (needs skin support)
F6 shows the DialogKaiToast notification (thanks to Jezz for that tip)
