The setup files for the Front End and Skin Builder are attached to this thread.
Updates:
Layout Switching - Each feature (player/GPS/etc) of the front end has a layout that determines where the controls are placed. Switching layouts allows the skin designer to create multiple layouts for each feature. This helps in creating skins with minimal controls on the main screen that link to sub-screens with controls specific to the function. The subscreens can be multiple levels deep.
The skin builder now allows to create skins to do this:
1. Create a new layout from the Layouts tab.
2. Create a button on the main parent that switches to the new layout, make it's funtion 'LayoutSwitch' and set the argument to the name of the layout.

I need some better looking skins. I'm good with Photoshop, but I need someone with vision to create some something really cool.
