Not really any text editor, Notepad ++ is good the thing you have to be sure of is that the zip file is structured like this

Zip file > xml & skins

And not like this

Zip file > Folder > xml & skins

I ran into this problem
 
the zip files keep the same i just take out from the zip folder modify it and put it back inside of the zip but when i open VDJ they give me the error message
 
It would imply that what you are changing isn't compliant with v8.

What exactly are you trying to change?
 
i want to change the font size or color for all deck and some other changes. the skin is the 4 decks that come with VDJ 8 this is what i do unzip the file
modify and zip it again open VDJ and the xml error comes up

here an example: this is the original line
<group name="songpos">
<define class="songpos" classdeck="1" colorPlayed="#00a5e4" colorBass="#00567a" colorMed="#00a5e4" colorHigh="#7fc8e9" >
<size width="488" height="38"/>

modify:<group name="songpos">
<define class="songpos" classdeck="1" colorPlayed="#00a5e4" colorBass="#12567a" colorMed="#00a5e4" colorHigh="#7fc8e9" >
<size width="488" height="38"/>

so something is wrong
 
the wire thing is that even though i change back to how it was the skin still give me the error
 
 
I found the problem the software that comes with mac doesn't support or can't save xml files I believe because I get a different software and it working perfectly but is just a demo so I will.try the one you leave in the link

Hi , also remember to re-zip the file you worked on ;)

You could also use wine-bottler to install notepad++ on your system
 
Let see how to do because im really new using mac so im still learning
