This is a little idea for app using a "slighty customised" evoX to swap between tHclite skins.

(hopefully somebody who knows a little evoX script, can take over this project and make it autoadd tHclite skins
                                                                                                    + show previews)

simple explanation (not much time to do an indepth + should be self explanatory)  :-


1) the folder "tHc-lite skin swapper"  can be dumped anywhere on ya xbox (ie f:\apps\tHc-lite skin swapper\)
                                       then it will appear as an application ;) 

2) inside the "tHc-lite skin swapper\tHcData\" are all the skins folders for this release, place your thclite.xbe
                                        for each skin in its named folder. (only required if skin has a heXbe'd .xbe)

3) inside the "tHc-lite skin swapper\tHcData\ (skin name) \tHcData\" place the skin.xip and any other .xip's that come with
                                        the skin. 
                                 (i.e. "tHc-lite skin swapper\tHcData\xbox_kool\tHcData\" will contain my skin.xip)
                                      (xbox_kool is included with this release, as an example)

4) when you are happy that you have the skins you want (you don't need to fill them all) upload the whole package to your                                                 xbox, then reboot 
                                                         ... it's as simple as that!

note:- if you use a filename other than thclite.xbe for your dash file, make sure you change it to your filename in
        the evox.ini supplied with this release. (find below line in evox.ini)
 
             Item "Back to tHc-Lite with new Skin",execute "c:\thclite.xbe

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

help required - 

could do with evoX displaying a preview of the tHclite skins as user scrolls list.
(can get this to work, but not call the copy command to install new skin at same time)

also can't get evoX action command to use more than 90 custom actions.
(i know you should be able to have at least a futher 90, but i can't remember how :(  )

if somebody knows how to sort these 2 problems - then we could easily make it so that evoX would just auto-detect new skins
the user installs rather than having to manually place them into evox.ini

ideally , all i need is a way to use the copy command from within skin.ini , then could auto-install an infinate number of
tHclite skins ;)

(which is how i wanted to release this little app. , but severe time restrictions stop me trying things)

sorry this .nfo is useless  ..... but there really shouldn't even be a need for an .nfo ;P

thanx

any mistakes, help or ideas, useful stuff find me on #xboxdash
(would really appreciate somebody writing a decent .nfo ready for if we can do a "proper release of this idea)
