    I've had similar problem when creating my own skin (trash on preview, in the very same place), unfortunately I don't remember how I've fixed it and I can't reproduce it any more. I will try some more, maybe with an earlier version of my (still unfinished) skin.

    OK, I managed to get some trash in the preview window. Seems like the .png file saved by PPaint is causing the trouble (and - what is strange - only in that preview. The file is also noticeably smaller in size). From what I've tested the level of compression, number of colours used or lack of alpha channel isn't important. When loaded from Sketch or Showgirls and then saved back again - gets back to normal (and gains some hundreds of bytes in size). I doubt you made your skin in PPaint, but maybe it will work for you.

    Hi Koszer!
    Yes I didn't the skin with PP but loading it with Sketch and save it did the work. I tried even with Showgirls but I obtained no results.
    I used Paint.net and the previous pattern (with brighter bar) didn't make that trash effect. I will check the png save in that program
    or whatelse I could have made to obtain this.
    Thanks for help!!
