Some help re skin mods please

[IAmATeaf]

I've been having a play around with skins and have done simple stuff like moving things around and changing images.

So I started off with ViX_Night_HD and initially put all changes into the same folder which worked fine but then I thought why not separate the changes so I've created a new folder called ViX_NotSoNight_HD and saved my skin.xml and revised files in there. I changed references in the skin to take this into account etc...
The skin is still dependant on files within ViX_HD_Common and ViX_Night_HD but the skin now no longer works.

When I look at /var/log/messages I can see the message "gui" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes but there's nothing else.

Can somebody help to determine what's wrong? Even if I copy the modified skin.xml into ViX_Night_HD the skin no longer loads.

I've got other problems with the skin that I don't understand but I'd like to get back to a working skin in it's own folder before I beg for help with these problems
