well if you remember i posted when mm3 alpha was first released that the icons did not show up and it was a bug.

if you look around you will see i have posted a message later saying new skinning feature, where i say the icon folder is only used for the no album art image.

this turn around or change of direction in my posting was due to my remembering a conversation between me trixmoto and rusty that we had last year some time in this artwork forum and in pm's.
in which we talked about including the icon folder in the skin for getting the icons we made for certian skins to beable to stay and change automaticly with the skin when it was changed.
as compaired to copying and pasting the different ratings icons each time you change skins which is how you do it now in 2.5.5,,

rusty tried but was unable to find out at the time how to make the icons show up and we just decided to use it for the no album art image, but the name of the folder had to stay as icon so it would work.

just as to why the icons for the ratings can not be changed in mm3 the old way as they are in 2.5.5, i do not know.? maybe that can be fixed by some scripting but i can't see how.

that makes sense trix.

as for the icons, roving... Petr (or maybe someone else) said that you could put the icons in the skin file.. but there are no icons to use from where he mentioned and the old Icons I put in there didn't work.. I think this probably works.. it just needs a better explaination and we need to be provided with icon filenames and files we can edit.

I think the trouble with this is that the splash screen is shown before the skin settings are read in, so you wouldn't know which one to show!

tried that i too had the same thought so i put one in the skin file.

it did not work.?

as for getting it in the mm3?
that might be hard as they have not got
the icon's to be seen in the skin file only the no album art seems to have any way of being found.

maybe they will find a way to do it but i don't th ink so.

if you put the brand directory in the skin zip file itself, will it work? if not.. can that please be added to MM3.0

Whats to explain?

Create a directory under MM called Brand, shove an image renamed splash .png or .jpg in there and that's what you'll see when starting MM instead of the MM logo.

Works for 2.5.5.x and 3.0

You are right, it doesn't work properly, it will be fixed in the next version where Fonts/StatusPanelTextNormal will be used.

Thanks,
