Playing around with a new concept for a skin but for some odd reason when I play a file the screen is black. If I switch to any other skin, play file, switch back to 'Empty', then play the file it displays correctly?

Easy to use, syntax highlighting, auto-indent and line numbering. This 'skin' isn't updated for dharma though iIrc (had no addon.xml, the new files weren't there (addonmanager etc.) but the old removed ones were). I found it easier to just start with confluence as a base, instead of having to update the skin first to work with dharma. Unless you're designing a skin for the pre-dharma builds, which is just a waste of time.

I'd recommend using Confluence as well.
Also, make sure you get the XML plugin for Notepad++ as it's very handy for error checking and lining everything up tidily. xmltools_2.3.1_r805_unicode_beta2.zip and - ext_libs.zip ![[Image: sig_zps3af3b48e.jpg]](http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt289/Arcanthur/Celestium/sig_zps3af3b48e.jpg)

Since the empty skin is not Dharma ready...and you recommend confluence....is it ok to "strip" confluence to re-build something new using the base code (without the graphics) or does it require permission from the author first? |
