Dear all,

I love Rapier and been using it as my default since 2.0. There is only one thing i do not like and that's the "New" overlay. I got a lot of video's i haven't watched yet and they are not new :-) some are from lats year or even older. I do like to know what i watched (specially with series) so that i wanna keep. Is there a simple way to not show the "New" overlay?

Thanks in advance!

delete the unwatched overlay png from the skins media folder.

Well easier said than done, can't find the specific file, guess its in the xpr textures?

Am i wrong here?

That is correct. The image is in the Texture.xpr file. You'll have to down XBMCTex, uncompress and delete that image.

I have just updated my mod here that uses standard ticks for watched items and no new overlays.

Looks great! I installed over my original files so i don't have to configure the backgrounds, so its probably still showing the 'New' because some old file was not overwritten. Does anybody know how i can "backup" my skin settings?

It is no good to overwrite because you will end up with an hybrid of mixed files that could cause problems. If you use the same folder name for the skin the majority of your setting should remain because they are stored within the guisettings.xml in your userdata folder.
