Reply to Why wont any of my stuff be accepted????? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

. This isn't the place for a gripe. If you're wanting suggestions on improving your work, just ask. This isn't the best way to go about it. And since you wanted an opinion, here goes. Your landscape image there looks to be default water in Terragen. The sun's glare washes out the image itself. The surface maps look only marginally changed from the default ones. Your atmosphere, clouds, sky and sun set

Reply to What are good programs to devlop themes (NOOB THREAD) in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Depends on your budget for graphics programs, but if money's no object, go with Photoshop [www.adobe.com] or Paint Shop Pro. [www.jasc.com] My advice is learn ONE of those programs and learn it well, then start on a theme. Wallpapers are great starters hehe.. [I would know:P]

Too a tedious task for me to even attempt. Do you have any idea how long it would take for me to specify each image's size and format/etc? EEK!

Reply to Recoloring clothing? in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Um.. Many ways to do this.. 1. Selective Color feature of photoshop, and forgive me if it isn't available in versions prior to 7... Simply &#115elect the color[s] to be changed and go from there. 2. Make a &#115election using the [magnetic?] lasso tool or the lasso tool around the object[s] to be re-colored. When you're satisfied with the &#115election's placement, hit CTRL+J to copy that &#115election into it's own layer. From there you can recolor/skin to your heart's desire.<

I never installed SP2.. From anyone who has downloaded the update, I've heard [so far] nothing but bad news. This doesn't mean you will, not necessarily anyhow. I'm staying clear of it.

Reply to >>> Name Change in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Nah I'm changing because my new site version is simply "SBG" And since that name is taken here, I had to come up with the next best [but still short] substitute.
