try the search button

(sorry, always wanted to say that :P )

#373132

im afraid the search button doesn't help that much, Google might, it depends though, what do you need help on Visual Styles, Stylebuilder, other?

in no specific order

* learn photoshop

* learn the skinning format/tool for the app

* get some, no, a LOT of free time

* aquire creativity

* hide your dog before installing FAK

I know photo shop, but I just want to make a skin and do not know the steps for it.

#373141

for what application?

#373144

Well...all of the above I guess. SkinStudio might be a good place to start although I find it a bit confusing...I use it mainly for ObjectBar modding. Good luck.

Everyone has addressed most things. Really there is no one simple answer.

Most skinnable app's have some form of resources or tutorials.

For simplicity sake my first suggestion would perhaps be Rainlendar as it is relatively simple and in my experience very forgiving.

Uhh, for itunes skins, you have to create images! Meh, I just go to original skins and recolor and make them sexy.

Can your question be any more vague?

Can you not use tags?

You've been stepping on a lot of toes lately...

#373450

I still do not understand what is wrong with my threads. I do not use tags.

How to create skins:

Step 1. Steel underpants.

Step 2. ...?

Step 3. Skins!

Usually, if there is an app that supports skins, they will have something to help with the skinning of that app. Or look at other skins to see what they do then apply what you learned to your own.

#373529

ok so lets say i create the skin, but how do I make it work. I mean i make it by making ascreen chot and copy it to photoshop and other design applications, buit hwo I make it work after I did the design.

#373532

It's variable for each application...

You don't use tags.

You don't look around.

You start threads for stuff just 2 clicks away.

And then wonder what's wrong with your threads?

#373621

What do mean by tags.? This topic have never been in this forum. I searched the site.

#373676

Dude.. Skinning 'little' applications is more or less :

1) Notepad

2) Pictures (made in Photoshop, or something)

3) Coordinates

4)

;Description of the code you are writing between brackets

;New description

A skin is merely a frame of PNG's put together with coordinates, like html.

#373766
