Hello.

I wanted to "experiment" with the skins in 1.6.
In the General Settings, there are only 3 available : Bars0002, Black and Jenskin.
However, in the "skins" directory of Gallery 1.6 there are several more - one of them is my favourite from the old version : Bred.
Why don't they all show up in the list, as they seem to be installed ?

Greetings

Hello,

1.6-alpha3 is the last official Prerelease of Gallery 1.6, but in the meanwhile its VERY outdated!
If you want to play around with Gallery 1.6, please get the latest development version from http://jems.de/archive/1.6

But please keep in mind that Gallery 1.6 is in HEAVY development behind the scenes.
Do not rely on the current code!

Gallery 1.5.x and 1.6 have a very different css system. So the old 1.5 skins are not compatible with 1.6.
The skins that are present in the skins folder of 1.6 that are not shown in the configwizard, are 1.5 skins not yet ported to 1.6.
