heres a block of the code:

44 <Window x="800" y="119">
45 <Layout width="800" height="119">
46 <Group x="0" y="0">
47 <Image x="0" y="0" image="main" action="move" />

its preceded by bitmaps, and followed by buttons.

Could you put the whole skin somewhere for download please? Or at least the complete XML file...
You can also paste it there: http://vlc.pastebin.com/
