Hi.

I'm making a port + mod of msstyle skin. Everything seems to be ok, except one error. When this skin is applied, i can't switch the Control Panel to a category view, i get an error message "parse error '<' at line 1", as shown on the screenshot:

Other skins works fine. What's wrong, help me! Thanks...

There's one or more errors in either shellstyle1.uifile or shellstyle2.uifile.
Determining what exactly is the cause for the error can be quite hard to track down, if you're not extremely familiar with coding the uifiles.
You can open either of them in notepad, and have a look for yourself

I had the same problem with the Acrylic skin, dani said to delete NS_Shellstyle1.UIFile and NS_Shellstyle2.UIFile from the skin folder, and it fixed it for me.

Deleting uifiles fixed the problem. I don't care about any images in system folders, because i hate them, i'm not using category view, because i hate it, i'm not using tasks in folders, beacause... yes, i hate them. I just want to publish my port/mod and don't want to make people, who are using these things, angry because of stupid errors. :>

Thanks a lot!
