I just installed this yesterday, and this is my first post. Just so you know where I am coming from- I work in IT support for a very different product, and to me, Unix are unfortunate guards from times past.

I changed the skin using the method described in the user manual. I used the manual X-Cart_422_manual.pdf. The bottom of page 315 begins to show you the procedure to change the skin. I guess the trickiest part to it is renaming the install_datestamp_.php file back to install.php. To do this I used filezilla which is a really great (and very free) FTP program.

In summary, before you begin:
1- get an FTP program that will allow you to easily rename files on your host.
2- get your authorization code.

I think a "mini reinstall" is somewhat intense. I would think it should be easier, but after reading the "do it by hand" instructions - I decided I really like the wizard. I don't know Unix. The Skin changed VERY easily once I just followed the exact directions.

HTH
