[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 506865, member: 27204"] I am not a great or very experienced skinner, but I can tell you this functionality would be invaluable to me. Every case you described I have wished for! I would add the fact that IDs for any xml imported into the window must be included in the list of control ids, this is most often where I run into conflicts. For example, if you define your own media overlays (for when media is playing) and you have controls with IDs in the overlay xml which is imported into many other xmls, then the overlay control IDs can conflict with those used in that window. Hope that is clear! The worst is when you start adding controls to common.window xmls which apply to almost all windows. Suddenly a button somewhere stops working since it uses that ID. The one point I am not sure about is What I really need is a list of controls AND GuI properties supported by MP or the plugin in that window. I am forever trying to use a fadelabel only to discover that window does not support it. That is rare, but it happens more frequently with controls like textbox or texboxscrollup, and even selectedthumb! And then there are the tags. Sometimes you cannot even use <align> tags on a label! If there is a way to access MP supported properties for a window, then this would be heaven for skinners! [/QUOTE]
