Of course I do that ...
And of course I have signed the extension (regfile). SKD ..
But nothing happens when selecting
do not see the text "Set Skin"
I turn back to using version 3.20 until the problem can be solved...
Thanks


His is not only register the extension (if necessary)
also depends, I believe the version of the platform
Although I have signed the extension, I can not select the Skin
I think it is a BUG of A2V1 ...
Hopefully our friend mc_kibel bue fix it soon
For now you can do like me
and use the version 3.20 works well in your K850

Did you update SkinEdit to 2.02 ? New version needs new SkinEdit. Without this, you can have problems.



The same question. Did you update SkinEdit to 2.02? If not, do it. If you have done it and you still can't click 'set skin', the problem must be in something other - but not in elf. Try to use ExtMan instead of regfile or check the path to SkinEdit.elf in ext.ini...

Dear! I'm not an idiot! In the config file elf there is an item with a choice of old or new skins. I use an old version of the skin. And installed everything new, including SkinEdit 2,02. The question remains open. Waiting for an answer!

Punchaleksey - I don't really know how to help you, because this kind of English is very hard to understand :p
If you can, try to ask any Russian guy which know English very well, to translate your previous post more precisious.

mc_kibel, I choose in the config file elf to work with "an older version of the skin (it is more convenient for me, because I do not need a scrolling menu), then apply the settings for options that I ordered for the menu (all 10 references), I agree to modify the leaving config file.stop work of elf book manager, run the elf, and I see no changes. configuration settings for the "old version of the skin, there is nore is no point selection keys expanding / collapsing panel bar.

To set keys, go to SkinEdit -> Edit Skin -> General tab -> Orientation. If orientation is horizontal, you will switch between icons by key left/right (vertical - up/down). Show/hide key, select key and run gui key you have to set in bcfg.

You set all links, but did you set 'Num. of items' in general tab? If not, do it :)
