O.P. Option panel bug
Stated some options in Options.xml; Stated the options in SkinInfo.xml; Result is bugged options panel.

Instead of showing the layout I specified in Options.xml, the panel just shows the 3 options underneath each other - Any edit in Options.xml just results in this same weird panel.

Additional Info:
All Styles and Definitions have been specified in SkinInfo.xml,
NO images have been specified in SkinInfo.xml.

RE: Option panel bug
Could you just post SkinInfo.xml with "[code=xml]" and "[ /code]" so that we could see it better? =)
Until now, I've seen a duplicated <Skin> tag, along with <Options>

Well.. yeah that was kinda a waste of Prt Scr button, but meh. I havent seen the duplicate tags yet, thanks for the reply.

However, after removing the duplicate tags, the skin isn't working at all. I tried removing the upper, the lower, but both result in the same thing.

I have seen something else, instead of setting the control Id to the name of an option you have set "Caption" to everything.

There was a 'typo' -> <Skin><Options>  should have been <Options><Skin>

But it still didnt solve the problem. Ill clean up skininfo to post it as code..
Updated first post.

By experience, something is wrong in Skininfo.xml, but I can't find the mistake... double check if the IDs are the same for options in skininfo and options panel.

The ID's are the same.
Id="Option1"   - In Options.xml, at both the static control and the combo box control.

I also had the static control named as"Id="Option1Caption"

SkinInfo has this: <MultiVal Name="Option1">

I'm fairly sure there is no misspelling, and I havent had this problem on open live.

Is it a bug that occurs when I do have tags for replacement, while not having anything inside?
