After updating from v3.6.8, I can't seem to be able to find the Skin Packs I have downloaded and put into the Skins Folder. It doesn't show the ones I have copied in ONLY the 2 Default and 'No Skin' and there is not an option to point to the Skin Folder and choose a skin.

Is this an issue in v4 ? Can this be sorted ?

p.s. Is v4 STILL in Beta and there are issues, should I should STILL be using v3.6.8 ?

Thanks

No, 4.0 is stable and bug-free for general use. :) If you switched from 3.6.8 to 4.0, there is a completely new Windows 7 style which has a .skin7 extension. Older skins with .skin extension will not show up under this style. What was earlier the "Windows 7 style" in version 3.6.8 is still retained but it's under 'Classic with two columns' style. Switch to it and then from Skin tab, select the skin of your choice.

Thanks for the reply. Ah, so the New Skin Style is .skin7. That's why I can't see the Older Skins. Understand, I thought there was an issue. No problem. Thanks for the info.

But were you able to use your skins from Classic style? Classic style with .skin format is the more flexible style. Your older skins will all continue to work in classic style.
