i have deleted the duplicate code and plusskin tags and no more skin trace file so yes it solves it but all that does is prove that you cannot do the things you used to be able to do in 8.5 unless experienced professional like willz teach you how to adapt to the new UI Files which just goes to prove what i have been saying all along, its not possible to skin 2009 unless your a pro like willz.
