Evox Skins Not Working?
How to fix the problem.

I've noticed a large number of posts about this subject so I just wanted to clear up how to get your Evox skins working properly. I'm posting this in the main Evox Forum rather than the Skinning Forum just because this Forum seems to get more traffic and it will probably be more visible here.

If you have uploaded skins to your Xbox and they do not appear in your skins list or when you select them they do not show up correctly, make sure to follow the following steps in order to get the skin(s) working properly.

1.) Unzip or Unrar the Skin

Use a program (I recommend WinRAR) to unzip/unrar the downloaded skin. In some cases you will see only a folder in the RAR/ZIP file. In this case just extract that file to your PC.

In other cases you will see two or more files (one or two graphic files and a "skin.ini" rile -- sometimes a readme TXT or HTML file). In this case create a folder on your PC that has the EXACT name of the RAR/ZIP file or skin name. If the skin is called "EvoxBlue" then call your folder "EvoxBlue" using the same uppercase/lowercase letters. Then simply extract the RAR/ZIP files into that directory you have created.

2.) Upload Skin(s)

Upload the extracted skin(s) to your Xbox. Put them into the following directory:

C:\Skin

-------

It's that simple!

If you have any further problems then check your skin.ini file to make sure the following names (shown in bold) are all identical:

QUOTE

SkinName "Evox1","Evox1"

[Skin_Evox1]

Text = 30,37,0.5,0x000000,0,"<Time>"
Text = 28,39,0.5,0x808080,0,"<Time>"

Text = 620,420,0.5,0x000000,1,"<Name> V<Version>"
Text = 618,422,0.5,0x808080,1,"<Name> V<Version>"

Text = 620,37,0.5,0x000000,1,"<CD>"
Text = 618,39,0.5,0x808080,1,"<CD>"

Text = 30,420,0.5,0x000000,0,"<RDName>"
Text = 28,422,0.5,0x808080,0,"<RDName>"

LogoType= 3

Main = "\skin\Evox1\evox1.jpg"
#Launch = "\skin\Evox\launch.jpg"

BarColor1 = 0x100903
BarColor2 = 0xF3DB91
BarAlpha = 0.5
MenuColor1 = 0xF3DB91
MenuColor2 = 0xD40C02

If any of those three occurances of the skin name are not exactly the same name as the folder the skin is in then the skin will not work (and you will most likely just get the default skin for Evox).

-------

To the best of my knowledge this is the best method for fixing Evox skin problems. If anyone has anything to add to this list (or sees anything wrong with my technical explanations of the problems) please post here or PM me and I will change it to keep this guide up to date.

QUOTE (Evil Ryu)

If anyone else that has been having this problem can confirm whether they've been using the Blackbolt skins, it would certainly help to narrow things down. But I can't see what the heck would be so different about the Blackbolt skins that would cause this (I've gone through the ini files a billion times!).

I did the same thing. I know the skins work individually but not when more then a couple get togehter. Very strange.....

But like I said, I can live with my answer, hopefully someone else will be spared a headache or two.
