This would indeed suggest a skininfo.xml problem. If it were not a skininfo problem the generic options dialog would appear (if not the custom one).

Your problem is the </Skin> tag. You have closed it twice, the second one is the problem.

What exactly do I have to write in the SkinInfo in order to display my Options Panel? I tried this:

<OptionInterface>
        <InterfaceDir>Options</InterfaceDir>
        <InterfaceFile>OptInter.xml</InterfaceFile>
        <WindowIds>
            <WindowId Language="en-us">SkinOpt</WindowId>
                </WindowIds>
</OptionInterface>

and it says that my skin  doesn't have any modifiable options. What is wrong?
Any solution for me?
Basilis, that code has to be nested in the SkinInfo > Options > Skin tag. That code would also assume that you have a file called OptInter.xml in a folder (directory) named Options.
Any properties which you want to be editable in the custom options dialog also have to be defined in SkinInfo.xml above the aforementioned code (nested in SkinInfo > Options > Skin > Properties).
