Help with skinning please

[Franco]

My first skin I worked on about a year ago used to work (what I had finished so far). It consisted of only a body, map, and button set. Now when I try to use it, it will not load but the icon shows up in the installed skin section?!? I figure that maybe you need to do something more with a later version of QCD for the skin to even show up. Any help is greatly appreciated!

need to drop the .txt extension on your ini file. change the filename from "skinkid.ini.txt" to "skinkid.ini"

When I look at the skinkid file it shows skinkid.ini I used to be able to use the skin without even having that file.

you forgot the 1 pixel spacing between the pieces on the buttonset too

[Franco]

Thank you for your help. I know the pixel spacing is off. My real problem lies in the fact that I can't get the skin to even work anymore. any help as to what may be causing that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

regen was correct in his observation of the skinkid.ini

other than that, the skin functions just fine

[Franco]

Oh well. It does not even load when I try it. The icon shows up in the installed skins folder, but when I click on it nothing happens.

to change the file extension of the ini file, you may need to do this
in Windows Explorer: Tools | Folder Options | View
and then UNselect the option "Hide extensions fo known file types"

Thank you all very much!!!
