---++ Skinupdater Utility
There is a utility to convert from the old syntax (3.6 and previous) to the new syntax (r26727 and newer - including 3.7).  The utility can be compiled for linux by switching to the utils/skinupdater directory in your svn checkout and running make.

A compiled Windows version (with source) of the skinupdater is available here: [[%ATTACHURL%/skinupdater.zip][skinupdater.zip]]

Usage: skinupdater [OPTIONS] infile [outfile]

<verbatim>
    OPTIONS:
        -c  Don't use new viewport colour tags (non-mono displays only)
        -m  Skin is for a mono display (different viewport tags)
</verbatim>
