I loved the way how Nvidia skin looked like, it was just recolored Shadow skin but it looked much better, but since the days this skin was released Shadow skin was updated to support new features and this Nvidia skin dont support em, so idea is simple

Please anybody update Nvidia skin to support latest features avaialable in Shadow skin!

I believe he is referring to this skin: http://www.xfire.com/downloads/3377/

As it is based on Shadow, it's using XML.

EDIT: I initially thought of writing "I doubt it's using INI", but then changed it to XML but forgot to remove the "doubt" word...

The NVIDIA skin is in XML (at least the one i have which is the one in the link above). Ill think about it but like i said i can't do XIG at the moment.

Ahh my bad.. I should have read the first post slightly better. That nvidia skin is just a theme, it would be extremely easy to take the theme part from the old skin and intergrate it into the new shadow skin. There would be a few colors in the theme that needed to be added but not hard. The best man for this job is Fanta ( I know you can do this in 2 mins with the old themes.xml Fanta )

There was a full proper nvidia skin coded using ini years ago and I thought he was refering to that.

Yes I actually did that skin/theme for xfire
Like most new "skins" that come out are actually themes i make.
But my old themes.xml doesn't work anymore...well it does work, but there is so much missing and changed that it takes actually the same amount of fixing it and searching all the bugs like making it from scratch..

But Theming isn't that time consuming..While back, it took me around 2 hours for a theme to make it by hand (though I new every component and what average color value they had)
