also, once i load the skin, none of the built in images are there.

this most likely means you're using xbmc 9.04.x which is not supported by this skin.
upgrade to xbmc svn 22528.

Make sure you have downloaded the whole rar, I downloaded it with chromium and end up with a 25mb rar, the extraction gave me an error, but the skin seems to work, redownloading with firefox worked fine, make sure the rar is 88.1MB

Beatiful skin by the way...

Your flash drive is formatted in FAT32 which doesn't accept the accent in the Ceska Televize name. There is one entry WITH an accent and one without. FAT32 sees it as the same filename. Delete the files with accents from the RAR and then extract...

dumb fat32

yes ineed I am. i used the live installer to install to my flash drive.

i guess i am going to have to get the stuff to actually compile and install an updated-ier version

compiling yourself would indeed be the best thing to do.
another option is to download the precompiled version from the 'xbmc nightly builds' site,
although i'm not sure whether or not they're 'Live' compatible....you may have to install some dependencies first.

New weather page, using the weather.com plus plugin:

- download the plugin here, or use the SVN Repo installer
- Settings > Weather > Weather Plugin (select weather.com plus)
- Settings > Weather > Plugin Settings
choose a map for "MAP #1 category", pick one of the "Weather details" entries. this will be used as the radar image on the weather page.

Ronie,
I feel dumb:
1) in the suggested post there is alink for a Zip for PMIII
2) where can I find the SVN Repro installer?

Thanks,
Mf

Hi ronie,
I found a relatively simple way to modify the highlight colors but I do have a question. The font colors were easy ti do because you already had a provision for it in the settings in the Appearance page and I also know that there is a Theme menu but I am not sure as to how to implement it. Would there be a separate texture.xpr for each color which means X amount of copies for all the graphics and therefore increasing the size of the whole skin... any thoughts?

Never mind: I found the answer in the Skinning manual

yes, you'll have to create a new textures file, although the name should be different. for a green colortheme, just use green.xpr
if you do this, you can then select 'green' from the theme menu to use it.
the new texture file should only contain the modified images, xbmc will fallback to the main textures.xpr file for all the other images.

sure, it will increase the size of the skin by a few MB, if people are worried about that, you can always distribute it as a separate package.

this is not a skin related question. ask for help in the 'general help and support forum'.

-After skin configuraion, if I do a copy of all skin folder, doest it works i a fresh XBNC instal ?

the skin settings are saved in guisettings.xml in your userdata folder, so as long as you don't delete this folder everything should still work fine after reinstalling xbmc.
