Hi everyone,
I recently found UIX while looking for a Xenosaga skin and came across this very cool looking dashboard and decided to give it a shot. I'm working with a 1.6 Xbox and dumped all of the UIX files (Audio/Sound) (UIX Dash) (1.6 UPDATE XBE) into one UIX directory and installed it on my F drive, rather than my e drive so that I could test it first before moving it. I also downloaded the Xenosaga_UIX skin and was really looking forward to seeing it in action. I was able to boot up UIX no problems, find my way to the skins menu and select the Xenosaga skin, however the white background image of Kos-Mos did not show while everything else did. So I came here to look around the forum topics to see if I could find an answer and I learned that the skin-name should read the same as the folder name, i.e. Folder=Xenosaga, skinname= Xenosaga.xbx.
After extracting the Xenosaga skin folder from the rar file, it contains a file named "Xenosaga.xbx" as well as a file named "background.xbx". But aside from that I don't know how to use them or if they are in the correct directory they are supposed to be in.
I also read the following about changing the code from xboxlogo.xbx to background.xbx and removing the two forward slashes on the left, but this only makes the UIX dashboard crash each time I load it. The only way to repair the situation is to reupload the original unchanged default.xip. So I'm kind of at a loss without knowing anything else to try. If anyone could provide some additional help, that would be great as I'm really looking forward to getting this to work!
Thanks for your time.

When i add a background.xbx where should i put it, in the skin folder or somewhere else?, i can't seem to get it working

yeah, put it in the dir of the skin that you want it to show in, but
you have to go into default.xap/default.xip and change a line.... look for
CODE
DEF theBackground Background
{
skyColor 0 0 0
//backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxlogo.xbx" }
}
and change it to
CODE
DEF theBackground Background
{
skyColor 0 0 0
backdrop ImageTexture { url "background.xbx" }
}
