ok basilis i tryed that and heres the result



but as you can see the top, roght & bottom still have the old plus thingy in them which i dont want how do i extend the image into them too?

You don't, that's the best you can do since it is a child template.

and theres no way of getting around it?

Help please!!
I've tried searching the skinning forum to understand why wasn't my custom options panel working, but even doing everything ppl told to do it still isn't working!!
Yeah, I've save with SuperEdi, with BOM checked, .xml file in Unicode 16 (UTF-16), the Interface Tester opens it pretty fine, Safari (my xml "validator") tells me there isn't any sintax error, all the options that are in the skin (all boolval) are in the OI.xml (the Option Interface .xml file)...and so on...
Thanks anyway

P.S.: My SkinInfo and OI.xml are in my public skydrive folder, cuz the forum doesn't allow .xml files in the attachment

I had this problem once and the problem was that I had specified wrong the name of an option in the options xml. Check it please

No, it isn't this...I have already double-checked each option...

I had done that also but if a letter has to be capital and it not, then the panel is not displayed in the skin.

...But even the Capitals are correct!! Every single option I included was Copy-Paste, and verified twice!!
Oh...but when i open the OI.xml with xml notepad, it says that:"Error loading schema 'PlusInterface.xsd'. It wasn't possible to locale the file "...Option Panel\PlusInterface.xsd"
Anything with that?

blessedguy, i am validating your skininfo file against the schema now and i have found a whole ton of syntax errors, for example in metadata your tags are supposed to go

colorise
umleft
umtop
umright
umbottom

but in yours they go

umleft
umtop
umbottom
umright
colorize

also icons are supposed to go after pictures not before them, i am correcting the errors now and when im done ill send you the file, with any luck once these syntax errors are fixed the file will work and that should theorectically fix your opions panel problem. i will come back soon to let you know.

EDIT:

i just found one more syntax problem, in your resources you did

replace
new

where it should be

new
replace

im just fixing the last couple of picture resources in your replace section and then ill be done.

I don't think so. I have colorize before UMs and it works fine.
