DAMN! I almost had everyone convinced it was to make things better, but you saw right through that! BUGGER, oh well, I still got to have my fun.

:o :P
i think that you all have spent too much words for a very stupid assertion!
I didn't follow your wonderful works for some months, due to a death, and in a couple of minutes I've converted my personalized skins... (with the exe posted only some hours later the provocation) leaving time in the future to learn the new syntiax
perfetc as usual ... on my Ipod nano 2nd!

Here you go: skinupdater executable and source (r26887)
The syntax is: skinupdater wps_name.wps wps_new_name.wps
Each of your .wps, .sbs and .fms files need to be updated.

I apologize for updating a slightly old discussion, but I'm trying to update my X5 themes, since none of them work with 3.6. (Or at least none I downloaded have.) I downloaded the skinupdater.exe, but how does it work?
Possibly I am dense. However, double clicking on it makes it open and close immediately. Dropping a .wps file onto it makes it scroll the entire contents, then shut down again. What exactly do I have to do?

Where did you download them from? The themes working with r3.6 are here: http://themes.rockbox.org/oldsite/www/index.php

The skinupdater AFAIK converts old syntax (the one compatible with r3.6) to the new syntax (current builds), and not the other way.
If you still have to use it, in Windows it has to be run using cmd (a quick google: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_Prompt)

Yeah, I downloaded from http://themes.rockbox.org/. However, looking at the one you listed, one in particular I wanted isn't there. :(

Thank you! I thought that might have been it, but I didn't want to eff something up.
