Xion Gallery Launched at WinCustomize!
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Today, in response to popular demand from the skinning community here at WinCustomize, we have launched a gallery dedicated to skinning the media player application, Xion!
Xion is a growing favorite in the customization world because of its incredibly simple skinning system. Here's a bit from the Xion homepage about how skinning works:
Xion features a new standard in skin support. Baffled by script syntax? Pulling your hair out over slicing up skin elements? Crying over spilt milk?
Xion's approach to skinning will remove all scripting and slicing requirements that other skin systems have placed on users. Xion will directly read a .PSD file and using layer names, instantly create your skin.
Xion also supports direct loading from Zip files which allow you to package several .PSD files in the one package. This has the added benefit of being compressed and therefore consumes less disk space.
If you want to see samples of some of the work that is going to soon be added to this new gallery, check out this thread on our forums:

Special thanks to vStyler for the gallery icon set used on WinCustomize and applications like Stardock Central and the WinCustomize Browser. And, while Xion accepts .PSD files straight as skins, here at WinCustomize you'll need to zip them up first before submitting them.
I'm looking forward to seeing what cool looking skins the community puts together for this!

Don't think it does, but if your skinning it to match your WB \ suite the playlist is already natively skinned so it doesn't really matter. Also Coolplayer didn't skin by dropping a .psd in a folder did it? I don't know, never checked it out.

Xion actually supports .PSD, .ZIP, and its own format, .XSF.
It would be preferable if you could upload as .XSF as that way when you launch the .XSF and its not in the Xion directory, it will ask you if you want to install it.
.XSF is simply a .ZIP file, which has its extension changed to .XSF
