ABOUT THIS BUILD:

I still haven't received any feedback on the skinnable playlist! Has anyone out there tried to create their own? Has anyone made a playlist skin and found a bug?

The main changes for this build are the Update Check and Crossfading features along with the fix for Vista so that Xion skins now correctly download on Vista as .xsf instead of .zip. Let me hear your feedback! :)

Any questions or bugs related to this build should be posted here only!

Enjoy!

Cliff :)

I've re-arranged a few things related to this. Give it another try in build 108 (when its released)

If it still doesn't work, let me know and let me know if there is a freeware game that blocks this so I can test here.

Cliff :)
