I have a skin that for some reason the user icon I designed for it in SkinStudio shows up behind the user icon that is already up.

I think that the user of the WB has to through windows settings the user icon to use what you've designed. That's why I think you see many skins that say User Pic/Icon included.

Another way is to build the top of the start menu the way you want it to look then set the margins for the user pic to be "pushed off the screen" so to speak, by setting the left margin to -50

I just Deleted the attribute for the Skinstudio User pic. That made my problems go away!

I wonder thought, if other skins authors said there is a user icon in the skin then why didn't I have the same problem with their skins?

hmmmmmmmm.... time for an investigation I would say.

the user icon you save for your skin needs to be applied manually by clicking the icon present and simply ing the one designed for the skin, however if you have designed it to have no user icon and you made an image striaght onto the user pane then the user icon needs to be disabled by the user
