Hi Nikos,
Since upgrading to v6.1.0.2, my XL skin has changed and no matter how many times I try different skins the default always displays. The small icons option is greyed out too. And yes, I use Windows Explorer to paste the skins and then restart X2.
I understand skins are no real biggie, it's just that having used the same skin for the last 20+ years, I'm used to it and have difficulty finding the icons I need due to their different colours.

Re: Skins no longer working
did you update your skins for the new icons?

Re: Skins no longer working
Yes, I have to replace the default skin every time I install a new version of X2 but after restarting the program, no changes are apparent. The small icons option is checked and greyed out so I cannot even uncheck it.
I wanted to attach a screenshot but this board has no option for that.

Re: Skins no longer working
are your skin files 1488x16 pixels? (93 icons)
the small icon menu command is disabled because there was no large skin found (or invalid)

The x2skin_XL.png file is there in the main xplorer2 directory but its size is 4272 x 48. It is the same one I have always used. The standard x2skin file is 2976 x 32.

Re: Skins no longer working
this is an old skin file that misses 4 icons (divide 4272 by 48 = 89 icons)
so you either edit the skin to add 4 new icons or leave the default skins installed by xplorer2

Re: Skins no longer working
It's definitely an old skin file which I got from your repository. Are updated versions available by any chance?
Strange how it worked perfectly until the latest update.
