Fairly certain it's the SkinInfo.xml file, but I don't know where the error is.

It says it isn't a valid skin pack which it wouldn't know if it was a UI file until it loaded at next restart

If there is a syntax error in the SkinInfo, then the skin doesn't even appear in the preferences panel.I'll take a look at it

went through skininfo and i found the problem, when jason coded in the specifics for each resgroup he also prefixed every resgroup with a universal resgroup, i deleted all the duplicate universal resgroups but what i did without realising is just after </ResGroup> i then had a opening restrictions tag from a partially deleted universal resgroup that id missed this caused that resgroup to read incorrectly thus invalidating the skin.

its fixed and now works.

So now It is ready to be put in the database? I am looking forward to that
