Nick, can I see your template for PHotoshop? I'm currently working on a concept for a skin, almost done. You can see it at my wc site (http://pailhead.wincustomize.com). But I'd like to see how you did everything if that's ok. Thanks...

Keep these "Anti-Tutorials" coming. I'm still working on my skin which is finishing up concept and I'll be moving it to SkinStudio 5, but the more of these type of tutorials we see the more it'll help people like me who have never skinned a darn thing ever. Keep them coming and good job!!!!
Really quick question, can there be transparency in the logon screens? I've noticed some of the screens have the logon area (where you position the icons) have a transparent look to them, is this done thru true transparency, like WB5, or is it just made to look that way via the graphic? Hope this is a clear question Thanks.. -Jason<
Hey....we have a change of seasons; early summer, full summer, late summer, and whatever they call that month or so of cold weather. Hahaha.. yeah boy that's a change of season. I don't even consider the month or so of cold weather, cold weather. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gi
looking goooood. Thanks Bichur.. very much appreciated! experience and
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year... Well got back to working on the phOS WindowBlind skin. You know I never realized how many graphical elements were needed for a WindowBlind to work, let's just say there are lots. All the different states of buttons, animations etc. it's mind blowing. I think I've opened up SkinStudio quite a fe
ahh ok.. so it's best to just integrate it.. bummer. Thanks MikeB!
Come on.. anyone?
I'm working on my skin for WB5 and I've got a question... Can I just have an "icon" for the shutdown/logoff options in the startmenu or do I have to also have the text ("logoff", "turn off computer")? I would like to have just 2 icons/graphics for them and no text at all. Is this possible? Thanks..
I had teh same problem when I first installed WB5. I ended up rebooting my machine a couple of times and it then loaded the correct skin and everything has been great since then..
Man now if that isn't some pressure, what is? Thanks Black Cat for the compliment, Essorant is one of the greats when it comes to skinning. I just hope that I can uphold that compliment when the skin is finished and released.
Thanks alot.. yeah I'm really pleased so far with the concept. I very much prefer to the simplistic and clean skins. Thanks again for the compliments!
Well finally I've started what I've wanted to do for quite a while and that is... create a Window Blinds skin. Now I've never skinned a single thing in my life. I'm more oriented towards web design and such, but never created a skin to freshen up the look of an OS much less one for a media player like Winamp. Oh I've thought about doing it plenty of times, even whe
I'm working on a skin for WB5 and I was wondering can the startmenu items "Logoff" and "Shutdown" be replaced with strictly graphics? I want to have a grphical representation of the "logoff" button and the "shutdown" button. I don't want any text in those spots.. I don't want text on the menu that reads "Logoff" or "Turn off Computer" etc.. Is this possible? Thanks...
Guess I'll see what happens Sucks beinga newb
Ok since I'm new.. I've got a screenshot submission that I want to do that is a "skin" concept that I was doing for a program that is outside the WinCustomize realms called Vapour. Is it ok to post these screenshots to my personal wincustomize site? Thanks...
Ok it's been resubmitted with both images being the fullsize concept. Thanks again...
Ahh.. ok stupid me. I'm going to have to resubmit it again. For like the 3rd time.. I'm a numbskull And thanks for the positive comment...
I have a quick question. I'm trying to upload a screen of my concept for my WB skin I'm working on. I'm uploading it to my site here on WC. Now when I upload the 2 images, the thumb at 150x113 and the fullsize at 1024x768. Now after I've uploaded them and await approval I go look at it and the thumb is fine but the full size is the size of the thumb. Am I doing something wrong? Do I upload the same 1024x768 size twice and the server will resize the thu
Thanks Mike.. much appreciated! -Jason
I have a quick one for ya. I'm just now starting my first skin for WB5. I'm looking at the "new" dialog in Skinstudio and was wondering what is best to use for a WB5 compliant skin; UIS1, UIS2 or USF? Thanks! -Jason
finally we might have descent looking bootskins.. that'll be nice.
Sweet so it's going to happen.. that's awesome!
