Hi Zorro,

I installed this skin because I wanted to use your Scribble plugin. Its awesome!!!

I am starting to like the skin too. But can you do something about the font slowing down the load time?

I looked on the website where you found the original font and had a few suggestions. They are relatively similar to the Social Animal font. Please take a look...

http://www.dafont.com/grutchhanded.font
http://www.dafont.com/llpochoir.font
http://www.dafont.com/pdrpt.font
http://www.dafont.com/wc-wunderbach-mix-bta.font

If any one of these makes the skin load faster, it would be great.

Thanks...

Also...

Is there any plan to make an installer for all these skins? I mean... the skin folder zip file is easy enough but its all the plugin skins thats annoying. Have to go in each folder to put in the skin files.

It would be nice to have it all in one package so it puts the data automatically in the Skins folder of the plugins.

Someone promissed to jump into this... we'll see.

However, it's not that hard. Click the link, click open then extract the folder contained into your {Program Files}\Flux Media\Centrafuse\Plugins\{Plugin name}\Skins\ folder for Plugins, and {Program Files}\Flux Media\Centrafuse\Skins\ for the main skin.

The reason why I didn't package them all into one file is because not everone uses all plugins I do. So you pick only the plugins you need and install them.

Ok, after looking through a million of fonts, I finally found one that loads faster (and caches better) than SocialAnimal. It's this one:
http://www.dafont.com/you-rook-marbelous.font

I will update the skins but as you may check it out first, here's what you can do:
1. Download and install this font (or any other font you like more)
2. Get some File Search & Replace tool (I'd recommend VisualStudio 2005 Express Edition, which is free)
3. Select the folders ...\Flux Media\Centrafuse\Skins\Drive and Drive Night in your S&R tool.
4. Replace all "SocialAnimal" with "You Rook Marbelous" (w/o quotes)
5. Run CF

This is pretty easy to accomplish since the SocialAnimal string will not appear anywhere else, so you don't have to be afraid of ruining something.

Yup, I forgot that only reference is in the skin.xml file for all the skins.

So its easy enough to change the fonts.

Thanks
