Preview for 2 interfaces skin

Default skin has main mode preview from load interface window, and all the skins I do have shade mode preview there. What does it depend on and how to choose it?

Xion does the following when looking in a .zip/.xsf:

If the name of the .xsf is MySkin.xsf it will look for a PSD call MySkin.psd. If it finds one, it uses that as the preview. If it can't find one, it uses the first found PSD file.

So to get it to show up, name the PSD the same as the XSF

I've discovered the same issue. My zip file name is the same as the main skin I've built and the sub-skin is named something completely different. But the sub-skin is generating the preview.

I've noticed some people zipping their skins up with directory information. Its possible this is causing some problems.

When you zip, try zipping up just the relevant files, and not the directory itself.

Does that help solve the problem?

I was zipping the two psd files as they were sitting directly in the interfaces directory. I just tried again to confirm and I still get a preview from the sub-skin.

Could you send me a copy of the zip file ?

I'll take a look into it, thanks
