I simply put all this aside just because there are too many variables to take in account to make it distributable, the first one: adapt to any screen size.
Have a small display simulating the "real one" is cool, with tiny images representing each skin, click on it to make some changes... but there are too many screen resolutions.

Sorry, probably I didn't use the best words... and I confused you.
The last code is for load/unload skins, but I also use another way to add/remove some parts or specific functions of a skin, using .inc files and managing the @include option.
As a side note, balala, I've to thank you, without your questions about my "wrong" words, probably I would've lost my Layout sub-skin (as I named it).
Trying to remember how I created it, I didn't found it in my computer, only in one of my usb stick...
Even if I'll never use it, I always keep my various steps and test skins and now I have backed it up.
I tried the skin out, and it says I have two optical drives present, however it displays the same drive letter for each drive (I have G: and R:, but the skin displays R: and R:) and I can't display the G: drive in the settings.

Now the good news.
I lied, there isn't any good news...

The Settings skin determines the drive type with FreeDiskSpace measures. This measures, if the Type=1 option is set, returns CDRom for the optical drives (see here what can return the measure).
I'm not sure why R: is shown twice, but first please copy the following code to a skin and load it:
This skin will show the type of the C:, G: and R: drives (I added C: for testing purposes). What it shows (just click the skin, the string will be copied and pase it here)?
Here is the output of the skin you indicated:
Drive C: Fixed / Drive G: CDRom / Drive R: CDRom

Weird!
But now I'd like to check the values of the ShowDrive7 and ShowDrive18 (belonging to the G: and R: drives) variables, so, please load again the following code and same as previously, click the skin to copy the returned value and paste it here. Thanks.
