are you working in C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Skins ?

if you are then you may want to try reinstalling Plus! and see if the skin appears then.

You have to save the file into the messenger plus! live directory. Then you go to plus! preferences and you select it.

I checked again the first picture and I think you have put the wrong " in the major and minor.The " should be like this.

<MsgVersion Major="8" Minor="5"/>

I may be mistaken but can you please check it.

Are you sure the file is SkinInfo.xml and not SkinInfo.xml.txt?
(just tossing it out there incase)

More important: did you save it as Unicode? ;)
