* matty wonders who these people could be...

Awesome Pitcho! Glad I could help with the beta testing!

I also noticed that the features page in the website is not updated to version 4.60. It still says 4.50. Just informing

Damnit! Downloading!

EDIT: Installed, and works great! Now the cool things I added in Countdown Live 2 (to be released) will work for everyone.

Great work, Patchou!

thanks patchou, however i cannot find any trace of any new schema files or documentation for skinning so how do we find out the syntax for taking advantage of these new features? some of the new skinning features are stuff i want to use in my skin but cant until these updates are done or atleast found lol.

skinning docs still say they are from december 4th 2007

Nice!
the new skin docs(available at least when you click Documentation at the Options Menu) hasn't really changed at all...only addapted to the new features...you could've at least taught a lil more about the AboutBox...
Very nice features for us!!
Loved the new extration reasources naming (img_referencenumber), it is really goint to be helpful
Well...lets get to work...

(p.s.: why don't you add a way to automatically update the skins, like it is with the scripts?)

Scripts don't have this. It is up to the developer themselves.

Didn't know that...all the scripots I've used do that, so I thought it was a plus feature...thanks for the info!

yes i agree with blessedguy, i can set an aboutid but i dont know whether i need to make a seperate file for the about box or if i added to the existing file, if i add to existing file then how? if i use a seperate file then how do i get it to know which file does what? so many unanswered questions.

Skin auto-updating is scheduled for the next version.

As for the documentation, if you see no change, get it again from the server. The Schema's documentation should include a "Fonts" element on the root (I had wrongly updated the file the day of the update).

You are right though, I should add more information to the documentaiton. I'm counting on the new tutorials section of the skin's database to fil lthe gaps. For the About Boxes: just create another window in the file you specified in <InterfaceFile>. You can find some more information about that in the documentation, "Options for Advanced Users" section, bottom of the page.
