Skins?

[womble]

If I select a skin that doesnt have a skin for lets say the weather, does it just revert back to the blue screen for that page?

So what happens is it just doesn't show up.

so does every Skin work with every plugin?
I use the latest GBPVR with the following plugins.

Weather
VideoArchiver
Shutdown

If I picked any of the Skins would that Skin support the plugins (show that Skin when using the plugin) or would it just revert back to the original Blue or would it just not work?

[Tulex]

No, the maker of the plugin has to make a skin for that plugin (or you can if you know what you are doing). So, some plugin makers include multiple skins, while others just include a few. Most or all plugins include the Blue skin. I think there is an effort by some to make it default to the blue skin if there is no other, but I'm not sure about that. Also, when you install a plugin, you can see what skins are with it. There is no harm in trying any and all of them out and jsut see what happens.

Cool thanks for the answer Tulex.
I had a feeling that was the case but just wasnt sure.

If you have a particular skin you like, and it doesn't support the Weather plugin (or any other for that matter), just post here.
Someone will probably skin it for you.

Ok thats cool then as I am getting a bit bored with the Blue. Will have a look at some Skins tonight.

AFAIK, all mine do. If not, I can fix em up easily.

I think the plugin developers should be obliged to use the blue skin when the custom skin isn't available. It usually isn't that difficult to implement this (in the RSS plugin it was only a few extra lines of code).
