We should get into an instance messaging of some sort to work through this. I read through all your threads on the official blizz forums (yeah about time) and see the direction you are wanting to go with this.
You want to make your buttons and the like skinnable (maybe in the distant future, make everything skinnable, a full UI skin system)
You want to make it as easy as possible for newbie coders to make their own skin configurations and images.
You want to make it as plug and play as possible, so that people dont have to edit your existing UI to add mroe skins. THey can just add another addon (skin package) that adds onto yours with another skin choice.
I think I can help you with this. With some carefully crafted savedVariables, and option sets, you can reduce your rendered images to a single image (that gets repeated) and can be easily reoriented vertical, horizontal, 2x6, or whatever the heck you want. I have done it with my own button mod, minus the texture skinning, but it can easily be configured with the skinning system too...
