[QUOTE="mirk, post: 153218, member: 21008"] It seems like you using the old skineditor. For what i know its very outdated. To make/edit skins you have to open the xml files in a ordernery text editor. If you start looking at the xml files for BlueTwo you can see that most of the controls have a description that tell what the control does. When a plugin is made the programmer hard code that for exaple. control with ID 30 is a button and when its pressed the view is change. The only thing the skinner can do is too deside how the button would look like and where to place it. The skinner also have the possibility so add a "skin controlled" button if you want. It looks like a ordenery "hardcoded" button but you add the action or the hyperlink tags. The action is used for example when you want to add a button that ejects the DVD.
