Nothing's wrong with that bool and many skins have been using it for ages.

Look in the wiki in the above link where it's described.

It's exactly that bool that's creating the issues. Many views and conditions throughout the skin rely on it.
When I change the bools to String.IsEqual(Skin.String(string1),string2) everything is working again.

Can you tell me what's buggy, which is NOT related to that bool?

Beter here

You use
https://github.com/gade01/Rapier/blob/d0....xml#L1089

Code:

[code]Skin.String( CommonDVDThumbsStyle ,)

In skinsetting.xml you have empty string (I use first time skin)

Code:

    <setting id="commondvdthumbsstyle" type="string"></setting>

In code if is empty  that line will be selected, but condition isnt working.
If you use onclick your string will be set "1" and all wil working.

Solution is to change

Code:

Skin.String(string1,)

in to

Code:

String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(string1))

only for that code...
===============================================
this code working in example line

Code:

Skin.String(CommonDVDThumbsStyle,1)

this code Notworking in example line (if is string empty)

Code:

Skin.String(CommonDVDThumbsStyle,)
