I tried to develop an own skin for virtual dj by combining 2 skins (Boanerges + Internal Mixer)
I used photoshop to edit the bmp file, and i manually edited the xml file in notepad... (i just used the xml files of the 2 existing skins to find out how it all works...)
Now i am ready, i zipped all files and tried to put them into the virtual dj skin folder.
The problem is now that Virtual DJ wont recognize my skin... (it wont appear in the skin list)
What would the problem be?

don't know nothing on skinning but it has been mentioned if vdj logo is not present on skin it wont work, i'm probably a million miles off but it could be a reason.
or that could be i'm confused, lol, and it's the reason for some skins not been accepted into plugin section.... lol

MS Notepad gives problems with the saved file.
i would recomend searching for notepad2 from your favourite search engine.

It makes no difference if i edit the file with notepad 2... :s
The virtual DJ Logo is also added to the bmp-file, but it don't makes any difference either...
Could it be possible that i have to change some settings when i add the files to a ZIP file?

it should work either if its a .zip or not, as long as its in the correct folder. Check to see if the zip is correct. Both files need to have the same name.
EX:
name.bpm
name.XML
double check the folder is correct too. I know it all sounds simple but maybe you overlooked something.

You dont add the virtualDJ logo in the bmp file. The logo appears in the screen if you have the correct line (logo) in the xml file.
Of course this is not the reason that the skin does not appear in the skin list.
Be sure also that the .zip file is included in the MyDocuments/VirtualDJ/Skins

Hi,
You can also try to put the 2 files in your skin-map (no zipfile)
And double double double check the first lines in your skin.
best regards,
John
