RE: [request]8.5 skin to 9.0 skin converter.
There are just so many thing you should look at when porting a skin. The resource indexes may have changed, or even the resource images themselves. The UIFILEs of 8.5 may be incompatible with 9.0 (you can bet on that!). Just to give you an idea...

If you find a skin which has both 8.5 and 9.0 support, you should take a look at the SkinInfo.xml and compare the resource IDs for the same image in both versions. I can assure you that you'll find changes. Also, if you can, compare the UIFILEs (e.g. the 920 of 8.5 compared to the 9.0 one). You'll soon see why you can't simply update the version information of your skin to make it work in 9.0.
