Did you 'Refresh All' after adding the new skin?
Does the skin contain any visible meters?
In Manage, click 'Active Skins' button. Do you see the skin in that list?
Are there any error messages in the log?
It would help if you posted your modified code if these suggestions did not help.

It is on the active skins and I believe it is running. It s just that on every other active skin when I click load it then turns on and the button says unload. While here it seems to run briefly and button return to saying load

Please post your code so others can then test if the skin unloads on their systems.

It definitely loads, but the newly created skin doesn't have any visual elements, even if you load it, you don't see anything on the screen (its single meter is a simple String meter). To make it visible, replace the old String meter:
with this:
Code: Select all
[MeterString]
Meter=String
X=0
Y=0
Padding=15,5,15,5
FontColor=220,220,220
SolidColor=0,0,0,150
FontSize=14
FontFace=Segoe UI
StringStyle=BOLD
StringAlign=LEFT
AntiAlias=1
Text=Do you see this?
You should have to see this meter (and the skin).

You have an error in your IfCondition tests; the first
IfCondition test has no number (1 is assumed), the second test should be
IfCondition2 and the same for those actions, the sequence can continue for as many tests as you want.
The second issue is that even though
IfCondition is always dynamic, the calc measure needs to be dynamic also, to detect ScreenAreaHeight changes. So add
DynamicVariables=1 to that measure.
Finally, I would update and redraw the string meter after changing the text option.
Replace the ScreenAreaHeight test section with:
Code: Select all
[MeasureScreenHeight]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=768)
IfTrueAction=[!LoadLayout "illustro_internal_res"][!SetOption MeterMonitor Text "LG Monitor 768"][!UpdateMeter MeterMonitor][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=(#CURRENTSECTION#=1080)
IfTrueAction2=[!LoadLayout "illustro_lg_1080"][!SetOption MeterMonitor Text "LG Monitor 1080"][!UpdateMeter MeterMonitor][!Redraw]
IfCondition3=(#CURRENTSECTION#=1200)
IfTrueAction3=[!LoadLayout "illustro_sam_1200"][!SetOption MeterMonitor Text "Samsung Monitor 1200"][!UpdateMeter MeterMonitor][!Redraw]
DynamicVariables=1
Now you should see your string meter on the screen and it will change when you change resolutions.

Very good observation eclectic-tech, didn't notice this small mistake.
I want to correct just one single sentence of you: I think that

correctly would be:
Code: Select all
Finally, I would update the string meter and redraw the skin after changing the text option.
I admit this is a small detail, but reading your post, I had to say this. I hope you don't mind...

Thanx guys, i did all of these, and pasted all of those codes, but the button still stays on load. Is MeterString or MEterMonitor supposed to be a skin or something?

IfCondition3=(#CURRENTSECTION#=1200)
IfTrueAction3=[!LoadLayout "illustro_sam_1200"][!SetOption MeterMonitor Text "Samsung Monitor"][!UpdateMeter MeterMonitor][!Redraw]
