[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 878229, member: 27204"] Hi huha - AFAIK you're right, you can only use MP strings in label controls in skin files. BUT I think you can use a string from your TVWishListMP folder in code (not in skin xml). So you can code <id>666</id> to a string in your language files for that Dialog window (2012). I'm not a developer, so I can't help much beyond that, but I know many plugins do it. However, I am not sure it is a good idea to replace the DialogMenu.xml since that is a MP core skin file. Usually when plugins modify a Dialog they give it a new name (and often a new window ID) - TvWishDialogMenu.xml or DialogTVWishMenu.xml or something like that (which helps us all keep track of which dialogs are MP and which are plugin dialogs. Sadly the wiki docs are not very clear about dialogs. (either for plugin devs or skinners!) I keep trying to get someone who understands them to help, but no luck yet!
