I've just installed a fresh MediaWiki instance for a client whose first issue is with the look of the default skins included.
These/yours appear to be the nicest looking skins out there however none of them appear to function with 1.16.2.
The horizontal and vertical versions don't appear in My Preferences->Appearance->Skins menu at all. The drop down version appears for selection but the drop down menus don't do anything in Safari or Chrome (Mac OS X) — they do appear to work in Firefox (Mac OS X).
Am I doing something dumb here? or are these bugs you are working on?
Thanks in advance.

skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
Everything is working perfect in 1.16.1, I'm not sure if it's your installation issue or mediawiki issue...
Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
This is a brand new/fresh 1.16.2 installation on a brand new CentOS VM. The only other extensions I have installed are LDAP Authentication and Widgets.
Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
I need to test it in new wiki personally...
Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
the skin 1.4 has been updated... you can try it again under new wiki... it works good under my dev wiki Http://dev.paulgu.com
Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
yes that certainly appears to have fixed the drop down menus in Gumaxdd. thanks a lot for that.
I don't suppose you can fix the other two as well

Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
The other two skin should be working ... you have issue with other two skin?
Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
Yes, as I mentioned in my initial post, the horizontal and vertical version don't show up in the Appearance setting for selection. Forcing it to be the default via LocalSettings.php generates an error that the skin isn't found or similar.

Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
Did you install the skin correctly? No one reported the issue like yours... what type of web server are you running the mediawiki? Is it linux based?
Re: skins not working with MediaWiki 1.16.2
My bad.
I've just removed them, downloaded them again, and unpacked them into the skins directory.
They appear now and I'm not sure what the issue was. Permissions appeared to be the same???
Yes, Linux - CentOS VM.
Thanks for all your help.
