Hello,
when i save a Design Skin in Webfig, the json file was created correrctly in files directory /skins.
But i can’t select this personal skin on Winbox in User Groups, there is listed only the default skin.
I have a Rb2011 with newest stable version (same issue with long term).
Whats wrong here?
Best regards!
Nothing is wrong. Skins only work in a browser.
See here for example:

On page 40+ you can see how to apply the previously created skin to a user group - in Winbox.
But in Winbox i can select only the default skin, and NOT the created skin - that was saved successfully in skins directory.
Sorry, here is the correct link:

Having the same issue with a hAP ac3. I can create the skin using webfig in design mode, and it saves it under the skins/ folder, but I cannot select it afterwards in either the skin editor or group settings. Default is the only option.
So far I’ve tried several versions from 6.46.8 to 7.1beta2.
Plus 1 !!
I have a script I use on hAP AC Lite’s to create an account and add a skin which works faultlessly - except on the hAP AC3.
Even creating a skin under webfig will not allow you to then select it.
Still unable to use a skin in webfig under RoS 6.48.
I tried manually creating the skins directory and adding my file but still not selectable.
I’m now seeing this on a new RB4011iGS+ with 6.47.9 and 6.47.10 - no skins or pub directories under Files right out of the box. When I make a skins directory, put the skin inside it, and try to select it under Users → Groups it does not appear as an option. I did notice under the System → RouterBOARD when I upgraded firmware there is an revision r2 notation on there for this new one. I have other RB4011iGS routers that are a couple years old, also running 6.47.10 and it has the pub and skins folder and the skins work properly on those routers, no r2 notation under System → RouterBOARD.
I compared file permissions in FTP between the RB4011iGS+ that has functioning skin vs. the new one that will not select a skin and they are identical in owner (root) and permissions (rw-rw----)
UPDATE:
In the CLI I created a user group with the same name as my skin (which is my usual nomenclature), only I left off the skin=SKIN_NAME at the end of the add name=GROUP command under /user group
I go into winbox and click on the group name I just created, click on skins and I am able to select it.
I will try this again in a bit when I configure another router but could it be the ability to join an already uploaded skin to a group in the CLI is broken?
try to create /flash/skins folder and put the skin inside that folder
probably something do not correctly detect how must be called the skins folder (/skins or /flash/skins)?
is there any update on this issue, because i am facing same issue here no skin while create group please need advice here using lates stable 6.48.3
I have the usual problem
i created / flash / skins
/ skins
inserted the xxx.json file
but when i create the group it is not selectable
version 4.45.9 upgrade 4.48.4
hap ac2
I found that after some time but I don’t know how much the skin is seen.
There is a way to reload the file list.
Restarting does not resolve
My problem is that I have a script that crashes because it does not find the correct skin, but waiting half a day if I try again without resetting the script installs itself
This could be the problem
Is there a way to write the file directly without keeping it in RAM for an indefinite time?
Note: For multicore devices with a NAND flash memory (e.g. CCR series routers, RB4011iGS), RouterOS uses a write-back which will cache file changes into RAM memory instead of writing them straight away into flash media. The file changes will be stored on the flash when it is absolutely necessary, the writing can be delayed by up to 40 seconds. This helps to reduce CPU cycles which results in better performance. However, this can cause empty or zero-length files when a device experience a sudden power loss, because files were not fully saved on a flash.
Use one UPS.
Sorry I didn’t understand the answer.
My problem is not that it loses the skin
The problem is that if I copy a skin into the flash folder and add a group the copied skin is not seen.
And it could depend on the fact that the copied file is kept in ram until it decides to write it for some reason
Sorry my english but i use google translate
Facing the same problem with HAP lite v6.48.6-LT. Any fix availabe?
for force write on ram, reboot or create a “backup”…
the correct path on flash devices (where flash is a disk and not a directory) is /flash/skins
for see current skins list, close and reopen winbox
skins with non “standard” characters on name are ignored or unrecognized
the /skins folder must not exist on flash devices, must only be present the /flash/skins directory
Tried this on an old RB850Gx2
Skin worked in webfig. But I don’t see any change in winbox.

Edit: I changed the password of that user and made them log in and change it with password expired. Now winbox is skinned.
MPLS and IPv6 despite being disabled in the skin are still there in winbox. But all their directories are hidden.
