Still want to clean up a few things before submitting them to Nikos and updating the first post of this thread..

Here is want the newly-added images look like


Comments/recommendations are welcome. ...

[nikos]

when you're done with beta testing the skins, send them to me so I can publish them

[kunkel321]

What about the "High Rez Classic" set (see first post of this thread)?
I guess those are a lost cause at this point?

[nikos]

it's up to you; whatever skin set is complete will be left in the skins page, others will go

[kunkel321]

Okie dokie. The 'Custom' skin is updated and posted at the OP of this thread. The 'Hirez Classic' has gone the way of the Dodo. FYI If you are using the Ribbon, it appears that, sticking with 16x and 32x is best... The 48pix ones get scrunched, and worse, the 24pix ones get smushed. Any x2skin n00bs, please see directions at the beginning of this thread...
-Thanks All !!!

Are the 84-icon skins still valid?
After a system re-image, I just now reinstalled xplorer2 ult and the skins aren't showing on the toolbar. (Pretty sure I did not check "modern skin" when installing).

[nikos]

hello stranger, long time no see!
there have been a couple of extra icons added to the toolbars, so your old skins will need updating. see the skins page

I noticed that even "XL" skins look horrible on a ribbon. Good thing I don't use them.

[kunkel321]

Ah yes, I see. An 85th, Tag Filter icon. Logic calls for a little red, green, and blue icon. Do you plan to add other colors though? Or will we stick to R,G,B? Is there an 86th icon in the near future?

And of equal importance, why hasn't Kilmatead replied yet?

[nikos]

you can add as many colors as you like with registry editing, see the Tag colors information in registry.txt
as for toolbar icons, every now and then new are added

[kunkel321]

I suppose the default colors will be most useful for an icon image. Here is the skin from the original post, with an 85th icon added:



A shared zip here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqHL41KhytEliOkWNIY3X6bWX12Vzw Rename as appropriate. If any newbs read this, please see the original post on this tread for directions on the use of skins. (aka skinz).

I'll email a submission to Nikos for the website too :-}

he's missing in action for a month now, total radio silence!

Hi Nikos and All,
Are we still at 87 icons on the icon strip (ending with ID_TAG_POPMENU) ??
Or have others been added?

[nikos]

now there are 88 icons, with the addition of ID_TAG_POPMENU
I have already updated your skins www.zabkat.com/x2skin.htm
