Rainlendar skinners please read !!!

a lot of you submit Rainlendar skins that work on your own system only.

that´s because you are using hard-coded paths in the skin´s config file. this will cause problems on any system that does not have Rainlendar in the same directory than you. for example all users that do not have an English version of Windows.

the solution is to edit rainlendar.ini after you finished the skin to remove all paths. only the name of the image is required.

hope this helps

Moshi: I did some checking around in the rainlendar directories. You are right about the rainlendar.ini in the main executable folder. However, all the rainlendar skins are in different folders and even the default themes have hard coded paths in the *skin*.ini files. When you have finished putting together a theme with the theme editor, it automatically puts in the full path to the images used. So anytime images get changed, the author is going to have to go into the *skin*.ini file and delete the path.

Just FYI
