[cheapohubby]

No problem; let me know when you've something for me to try, and I'll see if my poor old system can break it... ;-)

Noob Question--

How come the unzipped file has no extension? What do I need to do with the file? Putting it in the pluggins dosent seem to be the answer.

[psycik]

Which unzipped file has no extention??

I think by default it extracts to a directory structure as follows:
release
[INDENT]plugin <-- dll should be in here
[INDENT]skin
[INDENT]blue
bluemce[/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]

Could you upload the unzipped file please? I have the same problem as Cfreukes - just a single file in the archive with no extension ... Renaming it to .dll doesn't help.

UPDATE:

Nevermind. I unzipped it using 7-zip and it worked. Maybe you should start using another archiver ...
Anyway, I like being able to see how much diskspace there's left. Really nice, thanx!

When i fix it, and convert is. I'll post a wiki page since I now have an account.

I'm glad you all find it useful.

It's looking for an image in gbpvr\skin\x m e d i a\resources called button_green_nofocus_165x32.png

Looks like you've taken a copy of the blueMCE2 skin copied the skin file to xMedia, or maybe tipstr has missed a resource.

[psycik]

I just downloaded the 2.4 one (on page 3 of this thread), that's got a Blue skin.

Is that that you mean tipstr??
