fixed code in skinifo but it still shows the version plus makes not the custom one but atleast im not getting an error now, i copy pasted the code i sent you via private message into a new file saved it over the top of my original and according to you that should have worked but still getting error from interface tester.

In my case. the Interface tester displays it fine but the Messenger says there are no options. When I take it out of the directory, it displays the Plus default panel. Stuart,I think there is an error in the interface file. But I can't make out what causes the problem in my panel.

show me your interface file code i might not be able to figure out my own but perhaps ill stand atleast some chance of figuring out yours lol.

EDIT:

found out whats wrong with mine i hadnt ticked bom when saving it in utf16 that has to be ticked or it wont work. perhapos thats why yours doesnt work basilis.

So it's working now?

Does the options have to be in the same order as they are in the SkinInfo? I mean that in my interface file, I have changed the order of the options.

yes my custom options are working now, next thing to tackle is how to change background colour and font colours so as to acheive the desired look but theres no documentation on this subject.

No, you can have whatever you want in your interface in whichever order you want (both visually and code-wise).

The schema documentation provided in the Skinning docs is one of the most (if not the most) important piece of documentation. It covers every possible option available to you when coding your .xml files.

yes thatd be helpful but i cant afford £800 to be able to read it as no other software anywhere on earth except xmlspy can read that file

Umm, just read it with your eyes in the skinning documents? That's what I do...
XML Schemas Reference > Messenger Plus! Interfaces > Schema Documentation

You only need the actual schema file for validation.

tried that and patchou has done a poor job of trying to explain it it makes no sense what so ever just reading it it has to compare your code to itself and tell you what youve done wrong to be any use please help.
