RE: Im new to skinning messenger(And new to codding XML)and i need some help.
in your resgroup for 9.0 compatability you had listed 2 instances of the 947 styles file, because of that it didnt know which copy to use, ive fixed that but still getting no joy.

the only thing i can think of that stands out is this block of code from your universal resgroup

quote:
                    <Windows>
                        <Styles>
                            <Style Id="1004"><File>1004.style.txt</File></Style>
                            <Style Id="44104"><File>44104.style.txt</File></Style>
                            <Style Id="45704"><File>45704.style.txt</File></Style>
                        </Styles>
                    </Windows>


this 3 style files do not appear anywhere in your skins folder as a result im assuming that when it looks for this files and cant find them it causes a problem that prevents it from loading the skin properly, if you are not including these files i would suggest removing this code, if you do intend to include these files then theorectically everything should work once they have been added

please note that im not 100% sure about what if any effect these 3 files have on your skin if they are or are not present.

please let me know how it goes, the new skinpack is attached.

Yeah i DID have them, ive still gotta clean up my skin info. I might bring em back though.

And removing them and another one that wasnt needed(1009) anymore didnt seem to change anything...

its nothing to worry about matt, in my skin i added an options panel to allow users to say whether they wanted the word wheel at the top or the bottom, as a result of doing that its causing problems with both mine and anils dashboard buttons where buttons will go invisible when they arent supposed to.

SERIOUSLY GET MY FREAKING NAME RIGHT!!!!!!!

What is with people spelling it wrong all the time now :(

My username is aNILEator my real name is Nile, just choose one :P and please don't mix about the CAPitals or change some letters about or whatever the hell is going on next :P

PS. Patchou is the worst I think :P

There just seems to be some really weird issues with 1001 Definition editing, Mine's playing up on random usually it's fine though, and the buttons haven't been "invisiblising" themselves in a while

Yeah theres this werid thing with the skinning engine, i have NO idea what goes wrong. But you change something, and then the skin just stops working completly, and i have to restore it. But nothing changes..... Its so werid, it has happened 3 times now.

But oh well. and

But yeah, the Plus! Options thing is going to be hard for me. Ill give it a go, see what i can do.

Well ive got this far

Ive added in the option
code:
<Options><Skin>       
   
        <Properties>
           
            <BoolVal Name="Funny">
                <DispLabel>Add In Humour</DispLabel>
                <DispHelp>Tick to replace certain words in messenger with funnier

things.</DispHelp>
                <Default>false</Default>
            </BoolVal>
        </Properties>       
         
       
    </Skin></Options>

And i know i have to add this somewhere in a deffinition file
code:
<*PlusSkin Conditions(Funny = true) *></*PlusSkin*>

Thats about as far as ive got. I have no idea where to put that file for strings and what not.

No it's all in the strings file yeah, take a look at how Sunny activates her options in the SkinInfo, you'll simple need your option to activate the strings replacement section in SkinInfo you shouldn't even need to touch the defs or styles for that :)
