I dont know how to put up a link for a download of my skin here but i'll put the code of what I got so far here with this reply.

any and all assistance would be really appreciate. I have been trying to work this out all day but I'm struggling so hard, well at least i tried...

Kind regards in advance.

Just a note for the InputText plugin. If there was mentioned already, then i am very sorry! :)
I am working on a note skin, and i just realised that the plugin won't accept any Pasted text, only typed.
So probably because the plugin listens to keyboard key inputs only. :)

That's really strange, rbriddickk84, I often use ImputText pasting urls and other phrases or words... :???:

Hmm... that is strange then. :???:
Correction, now it's working again, but with short texts. It seems if i want to paste very long texts, like 100 characters, then it's not accept it. But it accepts more characters when i am typing.

--Mystery solved: I saved texts with Enter in it, so the variable saved till the Enter was hit in original text. After that in the txt file it's in the new line, so it's not assigned to any variable. So pasting is working till it's not an Enter in it!

As a clarification, rbriddickk84, ImputText works in this way:
- click on the box that activates ImputText (to detect mouse click);
- write or paste what you want *;
- hit Enter to save the text.

*- the text visualized depends on the ImputText box width (W), only the part contained in the box is visible, but all the text is saved. Before hitting Enter, you can scroll the whole text using the right, left arrows and also beginning and end keys.

Thank you for the clarification! :)
I already knew that long time now! ;)
