RE: [HELP] Creating A Custom Skinops Panel
In my case. the Interface tester displays it fine but the Messenger says there are no options. When I take it out of the directory, it displays the Plus default panel. Stuart,I think there is an error in the interface file. But I can't make out what causes the problem in my panel.

Does the options have to be in the same order as they are in the SkinInfo? I mean that in my interface file, I have changed the order of the options.

yes my custom options are working now, next thing to tackle is how to change background colour and font colours so as to acheive the desired look but theres no documentation on this subject.

No, you can have whatever you want in your interface in whichever order you want (both visually and code-wise).

The schema documentation provided in the Skinning docs is one of the most (if not the most) important piece of documentation. It covers every possible option available to you when coding your .xml files.

Umm, just read it with your eyes in the skinning documents? That's what I do...
XML Schemas Reference > Messenger Plus! Interfaces > Schema Documentation

You only need the actual schema file for validation.

tried that and patchou has done a poor job of trying to explain it it makes no sense what so ever just reading it it has to compare your code to itself and tell you what youve done wrong to be any use please help.
