If you want to create a theme or skin you will need a couple of things: 1) Text Editor Notepad will work, but it is short on bells and whistles. Object Edit included with OD is very nice. The skins and themes have text files that control how the bitmaps are applied. 2) Graphics Program Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.. Some are very expensive, some are cheap or even free. Search around and find one you like. Actually creating the bitmaps is the fun part. <b

There are some older skins out there that attempted the not so square approach. It is kinda cool, but I have a square monitor, so I am going to stick to square windows! Leave it to Apple though. If there is a way to make a round monitor, they will probably be the first to do it...
