I'm having a strange problem incorperating a skin for 8.5 into one for 14 (so that it will work on both)

I have two seperate sets of UI files, one for 8.5 and one for 14.

The set for 14 work fine, as do most of the 8.5 ones....however 923 has a problem

It puts out a skintrace error as follows:

code:

09/02/08 13:24:13| Skin:

Now, the file is an exact copy of one used in an existing 8.5 skin...which works fine.

And it must be the definition file itsellf as when i comment out the part of the code relating to that definition in skininfo, it works fine.

So i'm really at a loss

Can you post the 923 definition which comes up with the error?

Also, such errors usually occur due to very small, almost untracable problems. For that same reason some custom hide options didnt do anything.

I doubt the definition file will help, as like I said, it already works.

The file is in use in another skin which definitely works on 8.5......it's only when it gets packaged into another skin for both 8.5 and 2009 compatibility that it stops working and gives that error
