How so? in what manor? What UI? more spacifics?

Some UIs require a .ini file, normally supplied with the zip archive, to place all the windows correctly.

Some UIs, if they are zipped really bad, might actually miss graphic files, thus causes a default graphic to show instead.

It's hard to say what went wrong w/out knowing what went wrong.

All my skins are done for 1024x768 or higher - all 32 bit. If they should be run at a lower res they colors begin to change. __________________ Original Artwork by Tadashya my current favorite sig slice
