the mistake comes from copy/paste when I wrote my post...
But walking through a phone with far, you can see only existing folders... and far doesn't care the copy/paste errors.

So it doesn't solve my problem or my question...

yes skinning K750 the same way (different size images) also resulted in this kind of bugginess. I don't think we can do anything about it, but it's fun to play though!

The skin folder is I think a dead end. The skin folder is only used for walkman versions imho, I don't think K800 has actual code in main firmware to support skins (media player is also smaller in size than the Walkman player). It has been tried already, by putting skin.xml and gifs from W850, but nothing happens. It's possibly worth a look, however there is another way that will work once we start geting more vkp patches through, of patching the images in main firmware. This would be bug free way of skinning.

@faurionutz, thanks for those images, I'll get right to work!

yes... leave the folder with ZERO files...

by the way, have you noticed any files exists in that folder before putting the mod files?!

if you noticed none.. then delete all that you have copied onto that folder...

comprende?!

actually playlists are stored in the PL folder, and the all videos and last playing song are also stored in xml files within mp. Don't felete all files in mp, just the gifs that you copied in their.
