I have tried to change skin to the new different skins available in the skinfolder like for example
<include url="skin/vtourskin_design_117round.xml" />

As far as I understand you should only change the include url.

But none of the XML I have in my skin folder works.
I actually just get no skin at all when I change it.

When I look at the alternative skin.xmls they are not at all real skins but only have a couple of actions-

Ok I found out.
But really it needs more information than what the tour.xml says to do it.

!. you should keep the standard skin.
Just ad the new include below it.

2. Remove all the settings under design (in tour.xml) except the png which you need to change to the light version for the light designs.


design_skin_images="vtourskin_light.png"
design_bgcolor="0x2D3E50"
design_bgalpha="0.8"
design_bgborder="0"
design_bgroundedge="1"
design_bgshadow="0 4 10 0x000000 0.3"
design_thumbborder_bgborder="3 0xFFFFFF 1.0"
design_thumbborder_padding="2"
design_thumbborder_bgroundedge="0"
design_text_css="color:#FFFFFF; font-family:Arial;"
design_text_shadow="1"

<!--
For an alternative skin design either change the <skin_settings> values
from above or optionally include one of the predefined designs from below.
-->
<!-- <include url="skin/vtourskin_design_flat_light.xml" /> -->
<!-- <include url="skin/vtourskin_design_glass.xml" /> -->
<!-- <include url="skin/vtourskin_design_ultra_light.xml" /> -->
<!-- <include url="skin/vtourskin_design_117.xml" /> -->
<!-- <include url="skin/vtourskin_design_117round.xml" /> -->
<!-- <include url="skin/vtourskin_design_black.xml" /> -->

Quoted from "indexofrefraction"

including the skin AFTER the skin_settings definition,
will overwrite the relevant skin_settings

Well thats not what it says. Would be nice to know.
Do you really beleave that the average KRpano user knows that?

I feel pretty advanced after 10 years using it.
