It probably means that you're linking to a non-existing image on line 18 in your theme.ini file. You have to make sure all images are linked correctly.

You copied some of the code from the UIFILE.txt file, but it's not that you should look in. Look in theme.ini, count the lines downwards to line 18.

It'll look something like this:

UserFrameSelected=YourSkinName_FileName.bmp

You have to make sure all the sections of the logon are assigned to the correct images in your logon folder.

Hmm, if you are sure that all the images are there I don't get it.

Maybe I could have a look at it myself?

I got it and deleted your mail before replying, so I'll just do that here.

I think what's wrong are your images proportions. Each image have to be a specific size. I suggest you see what the sizes are in an already existing skin and work from that. You can also see which images are supposed to be what part of the skin.

A perfect one to look at would be this: https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=3675&LibID=26
