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.

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.

Just post you SkinInfo.xml please, so we can read it!

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.

It has a name, but I removed it. I'm not releasing anything about this skin yet.. other than stating the people who helped me in the about window. ;o

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?

was able to make a options.     
as he recorded his file?. of where?.

I recommend the notepad. as all files.

You're using a wrong option set.
use it like this:

XML code:

---

<ResGroup>
<Restrictions>
<MsgVersions>
<Version Major="14" Minor="0"/>
</MsgVersions>
<SkinOptions>
<OptionSet>
<Conditions>CLBackground = "Mac"</Conditions>
</OptionSet>
</SkinOptions>

</Pictures>    
</Graphics>
</Replace>         
</Resources>
</ResGroup>

EDIT: Noted a mistake in SkinInfo option defining: Conditions was spelled Condtions.

Fixing and testing.

Edit: For some reason, the image section of my skin still doesn't work.
I shall remove all options, test wether the skininfo is correct and replacing an inverted image.

Edit: The editted image doesn't replace the original at all..

Im starting over. I will specify all images and UI files without option restrictions..
