But this doesn't need to be new perl code in the plugin itself? Why not just add an iPeng folder to your templates? It's imho a plugin author's job to come up with the skins. But excluding _all_ plugins because _some_ need changes is imho gone too far. I'm sure simple output plugins like mine don't need any adjustment to be of some use, even if the layout probably isn't perfect. > Until we have these standard components that works with both iPeng, > Nokia770 and all the other skins my feeling is that the current > solution by using double registration in the additionalLinks hash is > acceptable.

As long as there is a way to get back to a working screen I wouldn't bother excluding plugins. > I can understand that Joreg doesn't want his skin to look bad and > contain pages that doesn't work at all just because some plugin > developer hasn't done their work.

I think you should reconsider your pages' layout. Obviosuly you're doing stuff which isn't expected or which is just beyond the current templates possibilities. Does it have to be that complicated or could you simplify things? Regarding your recent posting about having too much code to maintain, it's probably worth a thought (BTW: I hear you well. I'm not able maintaining SlimCD and making it work with SC7 :-(). > I'll try to create summary of the problems I've had during the Custom > Browse adaption to iPeng to get you some sort of feeling about the That would be a good start.
