Explain a litle more what you need.
Are you having trouble saving the seperate files together in one file?

well to be frank, i got no idea what im doing, i dont know how to even create a substyle...some people have told me, but it dosent sink in. I mean, when i do create a sub style.....do i do a clean skin or duplicate? no idea, need help bad.

all i know is the last time i tried to make a substyle i personally think it really screwed up my skin, (but i did create vista first before doing a xp substyle) this time i have done xp first and now want to include the vista substyle.

Save your file first:
File / make WBA package

then:
File / Substyle Management / Add / newsubstylename->enter name like Skinname(XP) or Skinname(Vista) / Existing skin / Create
If you have the Pro version you can also choose in clicking on the button "Sybstyle synchronizing" the elements to copy from substyle 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 (never use it yet)

just choose Substyle Management from File menu > Add

then if your making a Vista substyle make sure to select the new one and set it to default with 'Make Vista Default' button.

Thats it. you can start editing the new substyle immediately.

Well open SKS6 then select your skin and edit it.
Then in the Menu (top horizontal) click on "File" select "Substyle Management", a popup appear so click on "Add" button, enter the name of the new substyle, (there is a drop down menu where when you have already substyles you can choose the substyle to copy; basicly if you have never create a substyle it's on "Existing skin" ) and press create.

as an option if you have the last SKS6 beta pro you can also choose which part of the substyle that will be copy to the new one and "vice versa"

i wish it's more clear.

after to switch between all the substyles go to the horizontal menu select "tools" and "Switch Substyle"
