Not limiting at all. I do not beleive I ever used those words. I was interested in finding the included skins which I suspected to be compiled into the .xbe and it appears I was on the right track. There is a problem with a default install of the dash though. You say that the default path is \Skins\ which is relative to the .xbe (good thing) but the default install does not have a Skins dir in the same dir as the .xbe so if you do not create one yourself you get weird indications such as has been described in this thread. Things like the dash saying it downloaded the skin successfully but never shows up in the skins list and other things such as the dash giving strange error indications. You should do either one of two things, create a "Skins" directory in the default installs so when people unrar the files this directory is already there or code in an error check to tell the user that a "Skins" directory does not exist if they try to download skins without creating one. Or even better yet have the dash create a Skins dir upon the first successfull download of a skin. I guess that would be one of three things but you get the idea.

Skins are located in \Skins\, by default. That is relative to the location of the xbe. If it's in C, it'd be C:\Skins...etc. And that IS the default. You can change the location where the dash should look for skins, it can be on a different partition.
