You need the 0x101F8EDC folder with all the MBMs from the default Blue skin. You can't just change the .SKN file and expect the entire skin to change too. Just download my 'Bliss' skin and use the 0x101F8EDC folder from that skin. Just replace the 'skinapptitle', 'skinappview' and 'skincommandbar' files with the ones you want to use, and use the blue.skn that weera uploaded.

Very nice Raven!
keep up the good work.😊
Nicely done mate, I should really sit down and make some skins....
Ei Raven! I did what you said... but it does not work... i downloaded your bliss theme... then i pasted weera's blue.skn then i replaced the skinappview, skinapptitle, and the skincommandbar... then i rebooted my phone.... it does not work.... why oh why???
BTW your bliss theme works and my theme(where i got the skinapp, skincom etc.) also works but whe i combine the it does not work...
Raven, I tried to change the skinappview skinapptitle and skincommandbar without changing the default blue.skn file on your bliss theme and it works!!! so i guess weera's blue.skn is a dud... can i just send you my skin and edit it for me?
If you currently use the orange.skn file, remember to also change the 'skinpath.txt' file. I don't think there's anything wrong with the 'blue.skn' file weera uploaded.
no there is no problem with the skinpath.txt... i tried your blue.skn and it works...
hey...raven, you're right. Powerdesk makes everything looks fine. hehehe...
oh.. Reven's New Skins..... so.. so.. cool abis deh.. (eng, "very cool"😉

Alrighty then. So what you want to use is the unedited, default blue scheme, correct?
Try this one (attached).
Hi Raven.
I tried to apply the new matrix skin to my 9500.
However,when i reboot my device,to apply the skin, the startup process stack and this can only be solved with a format.
And i am asking...
Did you,or anyone else, experienced this problem when applying these skins?
This problem is being shown with both new skins(darknes & matrix),but with none of the older skins,so is their any problem with them?
Thanks.😊
Really? Damn, I'll look into it right away.
I faced that problem once, but it was only because I forgot to change some paths in the .SKN file.
Anyway, sorry about that. I'll remove those two skins right away in case anyone else faces such problems.
Mykhalis,
Are you sure you didn't do anything wrong when you applied the skins? Because I just installed the 'Matrix2' skin again and everything worked like a charm...
If anyone else have tried either the 'Matrix2' skin or the 'Darkness' skin, I'd really appreciate your comment.
EDIT: I've uploaded Matrix2 again and applied some changes which should make it more usable. Please try it again, mykhalis.
EDIT2: Both skins are back on-line as I couldn't find anything wrong with them.
What a @#$#&^$^ i am.😃
I used to send the zip file directly on the device and extracting them directly into the "critical" directories,and pressing "replace all" to replace each folder contents(of skins and skinconfig).
It seems that older skins had more files than the new ones.And so by presing "replace all" some files which were in the folders form previous applied skin were not deleted.
So the new skin had some files in the directory from the older one,and this cause the startup process to fail.
I realised that(after a few unsuccesive tries), and i first deleted the folder, containing the mbm images etc,and after extracting the files into them...and it simply worked like a charm.😊
Glad you got it sorted. 😊 Started to get worried there for a second... Can't have my skins going around killing people's phones. 😃
