General Skin Questions
Q) Do I have to uninstall any previous skins.
A) No. You can install as many skins as you want. All my skins are sequentially named so you just need to install my skins over the top of old ones.
There should no longer be any clashes with other installed skins custom components.
Q) Does your skin work on Weteks
A) Yes and No. I believe it does now work on later versions of pbnigma, but there were problems with older versions. Just try it and see.

Q) I am struggling to use FTP software. Can I install your skin via a USB Stick

ipk file.... media/usb/file.ipk
Q) I have been faffing with your skin and now my box only counts up to 49 and then boot loops. Do I need to reflash.
A) If your box is stopping at 49 count up. This is usually a skin problem. Either undo your last edit and save. Or delete my entire skin folder and
install it again. Your box will then continue to load normally. No reflash required.
Q) Will installing your skin reset all my personal settings
