it is not necessary to zip it, it´s only important to have it in the interface folder, so I just save my psd´s there when I work on them...

(nevertheless this might be a bug)

another good practice for faster working is, keep Xion running, make some changes in the psd save it and press F5, then Xion will reload the current skin (with your changes) and you can easily and fast check your changes...

Cliff, sent it again, but I guess it didn´t work again...

"your skin has been .... successfully" but before there was a lot of time without traffic, like yesterday...

Did you send the example? I haven't received it yet...

Cliff :)


yes, twice, because I wasn´t shure if it worked well ....

obviously it didn´t... will do again later... :)


Just checked again and the email is there now! I will look at it within the next 10 hours or so (After work)

Have you put the new version up with this fix?


No not yet, waiting for more reports of bugs. Will probably do another build soon though.

Cliff :)

Well I got your submission. Strange, its dated 10th Feb (its 12th today here). I wonder if my email is having problems after my server was down over the weekend :(

I'm probably going to get like 100 emails from ALAS now, with 100 copies of the skin! :P

I'm also getting other crashes now, loss of sound requiring reinstall, (the prog is still running, vis is still working, just no sound) and inactive buttons and indicators in the right click menu. This seemed to be precipitated by dragging the skins.

Thanks,
xonenine :cry:


Not sure what's going on here, the drag and drop of psd's is working on this end. Did you check the obvious things such as volume? Also check the files you're playing, is it a local file or radio? Do some files play and others don't? If some don't, then send me the one that doesn't!

Cliff :)

beta build

This certainly counts as one of the stranger things I've seen. After every install, clean and over, the player worked. After exiting Xion the player wouldnt play, while my others did. Much to my chagrin, I finally noticed that after the install and exit, upon restart my Xion was defaulting to full left balance, volume off. No other progs or volumes were affected, so I never noticed it until I ran through all my Xion configure tabs, looking for the obvious. Once reset, the sliders are ok, I've since restarted multiple times, dragged (and hot keyed, thanks) psds and zips, with no further issues. I just wish I noticed the sliders earlier.

Thanks Cliff :oops:

Hehe, no worries, I thought it might have been something as simple as that. Good to hear you got it all sorted now :)

Sweet, got your skin (4 times! heheh!) and have fixed the problem for the next build :)

I think that's all the issues now, so I'll do a new build soon.

Thanks again for finding this one!

Cliff :)

Hi. I just wanted to say that I think it's great that you're all so dedicated to improving Xion. It's never crashed for me, but I'll try my best to help otherwise since I think the player is so good.
While this is a little besides the point, I'd still like to point out that the first download link is broken :oops:
I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything, but.. yeah. :D
