Skin Files - and Popup skin files

[psycik]

Sub two things.

If I want to access a skin subdirectory is there a new method to call to figure out which skin path we want?

The PluginHelperFactory.GetSkinRootDirectory still returns c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\blue as a path.

Is there one that will return c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\skin2\blue?



And second, I'm going to look at using one of you popup boxes - the ManualRecordings one since it seems to be pretty generic and looks like it would be pretty easy to use.

Do you have any problems with this, and have any helper methods for calling standard popup boxes with options? Or should I just code my own.

Unfortunately I left it as is for compatibility, but in the coupld of places I need it, I do the following:

PluginHelperFactory.GetSkinRootDirectory().Replace("\\skin\\", "\\skin2\\");

I dont find I often need this though. When I create a skinHelper I do a relative path thing (skinHelper = newSkinHelper2("tvguide\\skin.xml"); ), and then access things through the skin helper (for example, skinHelper.
loadImageFromFile(...) etc).

Unfortunate these built in popups wouldnt be accessible from a plugin. Only PopupMessageBox accessible. You can derive your popup from PopupBase to give you a big chunk of what you need though (see weather plugin sample), and implement a similar look/feel to the schedule recording popups.
