I'm trying to reskin solpartmenu and having no luck having any effect whatsoever.

What I've done:

In my lih.htm file I have added, within my HTML, between <td></td> tags, [SOLPARTMENU]
In my lih.xml file I have

 <Object>
  <Token>[SOLPARTMENU]</Token>
   <Setting>
    <Name>ID</Name>
    <Value>dnnSOLPARTMENU</Value>
   </Setting>
   <Setting>
    <Name>Display</Name>
    <Value>horizontal</Value>
   </Setting>
   <Setting>
    <Name>MenuItemCSSClass</Name>
    <Value>tabs</Value>
   </Setting>
   <Setting>
    <Name>LeftSeparator</Name>
    <Value><![CDATA[<img src="tab-left-unsel.gif">]]></Value>
   </Setting>
 </Object>

(among other parameters)
In my lih.css file I set the values for .tabs and the other classes I set in lih.xml.

I had already set the portal skin (for the site) to lih & successfully changed other elements of the site's design. 

I have zipped up the container files in container.zip, the skin files in skin.zip (including the image files I references in lih.xml), then zipped them both into lih.zip.  I have uploaded this through the admin/site settings/appearance page.  I get lots of messages during the upload that indicate success.  I hit "refresh" on my computer.  I still see the old menu.  No change *whatsoever* -- it's just not pulling the new skin for the menu.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try renaming the xml file to skin.xml

I'm not sure because I don't work with xml / html - I prefer ascx mode - but I think you do need to call it skin.xml for it to be picked up by the skin uploader.

First, I don't think you want to specify the ID for the menu in your xml.   If you have a url for us to look at it would help determine if your changes are there but not reflected in the menu, or if your changes did not even make it to the page.  I also suggest looking at one of the many free sample skins out there and trying to determine how your skin is different...  If all else fails feel free to email me your skin and I will have a look.

I removed the ID (it didn't have any effect).  Here is the URL (the site's still a bit of a mess right now) http://www.living-in-houston.com/Prod/.  The menu is supposed to have colored tabs behind each topic.  Instead, it's pulling a default style.  Thank you for your help!
