What? you expect ppl to read all the way to Question #12! are you crazy they just want the thing to work I told you! hehe
me has a hard time reading I'd rather take the lazy route and ask for a straight line to the answer I'm looking for & skip the reading so I can relate, but sooner or later you end up having to read to get your answers sometimes

Back in skinning's origins, people were genuinely eager to actually LEARN what it was all about....RTFM was the rule, not the exception.
It was a challenge to get your head around what was happening/involved....de-consructing a skin to see just how/why it worked, etc....particularly with shell themeing/coding.
From this 'eagerness' came the 'skinner'.
Now, we have a plethora of 'users' [not skinners] who have a quaint naive interpretation of what it is all about....and we are stuck with rude, asinine comments/demands on our energy/time.
Politeness is its own reward.
Common decency is not 'common' at all.
If you haven't got a civil tongue in your head towards people who were genuinely helping then in good old Aussie slang....
"Bugger off"...

and someone turned me onto "LiteStep enabler" to switch shells...
