Any idea about my Conq skin issue?

Look in your xbmc.log for errors. I just installed Conq and see the following errors:

Code:

16:20:27 64882.558594 T:3058716672   ERROR: COMXImageFile::ReadFile special://skin/extras/backgrounds/blue.jpg not found
16:20:27 64882.558594 T:3058716672  NOTICE: LoadJpeg: unable to load special://skin/extras/backgrounds/blue.jpg

16:20:29 64884.359375 T:3058716672  NOTICE: LoadJpeg: unable to load special://skin/extras/backgrounds/blue.jpg

I'm guessing special://skin is a shortcut for the /storage/.xbmc/addons/skin.conq folder, and looking inside the extras/backgrounds folder reveals the following:

Code:

rpi512:~ # ls -la /storage/.xbmc/addons/skin.conq/extras/backgrounds/

Linux is case sensitive, so it can't find Blue.jpg when it is looking for blue.jpg.

I also had the following error when building the Conq menu for the firs time:

I suggest checking with the Skin author about these problems.

You probably picked up the 2.0.4 update to Conq on 27 September and I'm betting that is when your blue background problem started, and is unrelated to build #0930.

I've now returned screaming to Confluence - Conq is really not my cup of tea...
