I am using the Standard skin. In the section "about this station" the skin shows unknown unkown. I guess that should be filled automatically with the default naming of the skin (e.g. Standard). Howerver, I can not find how to fix.

That looks more like the "Seasons" skin, not the Standard skin.

The display under "About this station" is normally set by the values of SKIN_NAME and SKIN_VERSION in the configuration file, skin.conf. They must be missing from your copy. I don't quite understand how you ended up with the display, but not the values, but somehow that's the way it turned out.

Either delete the display from about.inc, or add the values. To add the values, go into Seasons/skin.conf and add them at the very top. Something like

SKIN_NAME = Seasons
SKIN_VERSION = 5.0.2

Indeed it is the "Seasons" skin. I was still running an old version of the Seasons/skin.conf. Using the latest version has solved the issue. Thanks for your help!
