Hi to All, Sorry to waste y'all time but i have 2 questions:

1. I went to "allxboxskins.com" and i downloaded the Avalunch skins dat was png images. the question is, where do you put it on the xbox hd? I did a search for it and didn't find nothing.

2. Also the answer for this quesion is the same if i was to do it with the XBMC skin too??

Thanks for any answers.

In the skins folder for the dashboard that you downloaded the skin for.

example....

For XBMC if you have it on F:\apps\xbmc and you downloaded
a skin called "Green", then it would go in F:\xbmc\skin\green.
put all the files for that skin in the green folder.

For the Avalaunch it is a little different.

Skins for avalaunch are in the folder media\skins :)

I have ava 49.3 & tha reason why i wanna change it so bad is because it says "Merry X-Mas" and its not even showing the default folder. and also every time i go to the Settings\Skins\Local Skins or Online Skins it just freezes-up. Is dat suppose to happen?? i thought dat was suppose to be a fix. It didn't it on 49.2 and still on 49.3. I still can't get file manger. Team xecuter or somebody PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOMETHING.

The media folder will be in the Avalaunch folder where ever you
put the Avalaunch dashboard files when you installed it.

example:
I have mine on F: drive like this.....
F:\dash\ava\media\skins\
This is because I am using UIX at the moment and that's where it needs
to be for UIX to find them. But if you installed avalaunch to the root of
E: or F: then search for a folder named media on all drives on your xbox
for it. As far as I know avalaunch is the only dash that uses the media\skins
folder.

As for the christmas chick, go to the forums at xbox-scene and look for the
answer on how to change the loading pic.

Hope this helps. :)
