I've seen a few 'rip' reports on this board but that is the first time I've seen someone 'step up to the plate' and take some responsible action. That is impressive.

I use WindowBlinds ,of course SkinSudio Icon Packager ObjectDock I've played around a bit with DesktopX but haven't really found a skin I like a lot for it. I haven't gotten around to the others yet ~~Hey, DM, you should have mail. Sorry if it doubled, Yahoo is acting weird~~

Reply to Never ending PS tutorials... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm still learning PS. I've used PSP for years. Mostly what I do in PS right now is just fool around, not making anything specific, trying to get a feel for what the tools do and how to get the different effects. When I feel I've got more of a handle on it, I'll probably try to make a skin with PS rather than PSP. It can be frustrating trying to make a specific item or graphic when you don't know the program very well. It seems most of the tutorials assume you have the basic knowledge of how

So, if I understand you, if someone came up with an app/interface that would edit the UIS file, button 1 could call up the app and, working with the existing Smart Button dlls available, the other buttons could be reprogrammed within that interface.

I don't know how feasible this is but how about 1 button, call it a config button, that brings up a configuration dialog for the other buttons. To set the function of buttons 2,3,so on. That way the user could set the functions according to his/her own desires and be able to easily change those functions. I guess this would entail button 1 bringing up some sort of application to do this? "the one they call ted" has some ObjectDock Icons that are for log off, shut down, etc. that are program

Reply to Default sizes for each part in SkinStudio? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Wow, thanks guys. A lot of good suggestions there. I had seen the tutorial when I first started but it was kinda confusing but now that I'm more familiar with skinning I'll have to go back and read it again. Checking out the bits added by other skinners is good too. I'm sure I've got some that have the Start Panel Item Background. You guys are great <img src="http://images.

I agree with Dark Mist. I would rather see 'quality not quantity'. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to see my name up there, but, at this point, I'm concentrating on learning and improving my skills. Top authors should be Top Authors. /me goes back to 'bashing them out'

Default sizes for each part in SkinStudio? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Does anyone know if there is any info anywhere on the default size for each item? I would guess when you start with a new skin, the bits that are alrady there are the default size but some parts don't have an image such as Panel Item Background, Special Panel Main Content, etc. Thanks

Reply to What is the best way to get started making Windowblinds themes? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

EventHorizon, look for some tutorials on the graphics program you are using. While you can use various 3rd party filters to get a 3D look, using the built in filters makes a nicer look IMO. This may not make much sense if you are new to the graphics programs (filters) but check out some tutorials and you will get the idea. There are a lot of buttons and stuff! <img src="http://images.stardock
