Default Skin

[knickerblogger]

Would it be possible to have a Default Skin folder? Every plugin would then be required to have a default skin installed into the default skin folder. This way you wouldn't need to copy the folder into each skin. There should be a way for GBPVR to say when loading the skin for the plugin (plugin folder in current skin) does not exist use (plugin folder in DEFAULT skin).

One other item: Let's say I delete a show, when returning to the menu, the selected item is now like the last one. Couldn't you make it the one right after this one. Either compare the date of the deleted file & choose the one right after it, or by number in the array (checking of course to see that it wasn't the last one).

"Blue" is the default skin, and it was suggested in the past that plugin developers could fallback to this if their setting didnt exist in the current skin. The idea never caught on.

I like what Jeff is doind with Video Archiver. If the skin file does not exist get it from the blue skin.

I will update Guide2J appropriatley.

Thanks Jeff- good idea

Is it possible for current plugin users to implement this? Or is it something that has to be handled by GBPVR?

Its something plugin developers need to implement for themselves, but there is a method on the plugin helper to tell them where the standard blue skin directory is.
