Hrmm, that's certainly strange. I have no troubles at all with trader mode using the skin. Perhaps another mod is creating a problem? I use the /bazaar and /trader functions very often, and have yet to see any unusual behavior.
As for submitting to downloads section, I'm certain I will - with due credit given to Leo, as I used his skin as a base. Right now, I am working out a few glitches that could cause issues with additional patches from Verant. IE: moving some code from the Animations file to the respective xml files, basically streamlining an already good skin for use with other modifications and compatibility with future UI patches.
I was kind of caught by surprise, I didn't think it would be receiving so much attention.
