When changing skins how can I set the default mode the skin opens in? The skin VSTwmp[EN]_V1 is the one in particular I want to change so it always loads in the minimal shade mode instead of the full mode with the Now Playing panel showing.

I couldn't find any obvious settings in the skin.ini file.

You can do this :

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't help. The default video skin is the one with the 'Now Playing' panel showing.

The skin has 3 modes which you can rotate through with the 'Toggle shade mode' button. Full with now playing panel, without now playing panel, and a slim version. I want the default to be the slim. I presume there must be a skin setting in skin.ini or something that sets which mode to display.

Aren't pictures great?
Is this what you want?

Heh yeah. I can manually switch to that mode, but I'd prefer that mode as default when I switch to this skin.

I guess I should have posted an image of what I wanted initially.

Download attached. Check "Disable auto switch of skin mode depending on media".

Thanks Pantuflo, it's not quite what I wanted but it helps. Yours doesn't have the 'Now Playing' panel showing initially. It looks like you recreated the whole skin though so I guess it's not as easy as just changing a simple setting. It's all good though. Its quite a minor issue and isn't going to prevent me from using KMP.
