Hi Does anyone have any tips or tutorials for skinning window frames as i am at my wits end I have spent days trying to slice up an image and am getting nowhere. The images are always in the wrong place - the start menu was easy to slice but this is a nightmare Failing the slice method i try to just take the default image for example frame_top and draw other images over it Its time consuming but works for a while but takes an age to line everything up.

Hey everyone Just thought id introduce myself before spraffing too much on the forums. Im Fergus - currently residing in Edinburgh scotland - where its rainy and pish! Im new to skinning but loving it so will probably be bugging people for help all the time Cheers
Silly... Now unless this is spectacular it will be an epic fail!
Wow im flattered - thanks ID
Thanks for that bud - i had skinned the UIS2 but it wasnt in the bmp format - works now. Ill check out those skins for the all progs as well Cheers again
Hi folks I am stumped as to how to do the following. Apologies im totally new to this I need a preview image for my skin. in the windowblinds changer it just shows up as blank. Also where do you skin the mouseover for the all programs menu? I need rid of this blue square box Thanks in advance if anyone can help
I think ive just bugged it out or something, shifting these even by -3000 or +3000 doesnt move it. Ive rebuilt the skin to get round it
Ive managed to fix everything here except the vista icon thing. It will not shift from that left hand area. Does anyone know how to move it back to its default position on the right?
Ok thanks for that NT Ive not got it sitting perfect yet but i can see the changes it makes and ill play about till ive got it working. Cheers again

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help Im skinning the start menu at the moment. All was fine until i skinned the top part (sp_top) I dont want to use this part so firstly i made a blank png. It has made the rest of the menu all squished wrong. Even if i rest it back to the original image its still all squished thin with the shutdown buttons in the wrong place and the vista icon box all over the place Ive also tried putting it to no image defined

Working on my very first blind... Its very buggy at the moment though The dock, wallpaper and icons are not my creations...
[quote]Make ur explorer background images transparent.. and the rest will fall into place. ;[/quote] Vstyler thanks - this was causing me a lot of probs
Feel free to disregard my opinion but i think a lot of people are fed up with certain similar skins getting bumped to page 1 every day... Its like vista clone in black, vista clone with blue bit, vista clone with a white windwow bit instead of a black bit - and everybody is like "wow man thats AMAZING!" A lot of people obviously want to download them though and its good to have this option but mabye put them all as substyles on the one skin and not bump it every day - thats all
Will this skin be available to buy for people who don't have a win-customize subscription but instead a windowblinds and object desktop subscription?
