Ooh, that way :P

Well I always use "\", and it works fine.
So does it do in this case...

RE: [Help] Wrong Skin Trace errors
When specifying a file in a directory you always use / the only reason I've ever used \ is in smilies and such. o.o with commands you use / as well...like this command (which is the IRC code for actions)
code:
/me
or when closing tags.
\me runs around *
* Soardra runs around *

as you can see / works, but \ does not

RE: [Help] Wrong Skin Trace errors
* Soardra did some more research *

so this is what I've figured out:

   v backslash used when separating drive from folder within (open your SkinInfo.xml file in a browser)
C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Skins\My Folder\SkinInfo.xml

        v slash used to separate http command from website
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/

v slash used in IRC commands (IRC is the oldest chat program in existance btw)
/me

   v      v both used in monster smiley
(''\(o,,o)/'')

This is how I word things in my SkinInfo.xml file:
code:
<Pictures>
  <Picture=Id"???">
    <File>Images/blah.png</File>
  </Picture>
</Pictures>

This is how it appears in a browser in the address bar:
C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\My Folder\Images\blah.png

I can now see that you were right in saying that the kind of slash did NOT matter. However, make sure that you're using the slash in the TAGS o-o because I'm pretty sure that DOES matter.

Usually \ is for local files and folders and / is for the internet addresses... and possibly networks (unsure though on that one)

Well, I think I know the difference between a forward- and a backslash, so I don't really understand why "/" should be used in the SkinInfo.xml (apart from <AboutUrl />, of course)..

But that doesn't matter, it works fine and that's what I'm working for..

If you using <AboutUrl/> the tag is obviously empty and so is not needed :p

I know, but what I meant was:

the thing in the <AboutUrl>X</AboutUrl> is a web address, which requires "/". Unless you have the file included in your skin of course :P
