I use icons by a friend-> Dark-Cells on DA that i have resized and modify for test the ani making that's just a test for the moment not the final version
but that's the colors i want.I'm gonna to ask him (when he will finished his set) if i can use them for match with my WB. you can find his work HERE and HERE
At this time to see how match this kind of colors with my WB i use LK Iconpackage by DuoPixart

Not too shabby my friend... I'm curious as to why some of your 'rounded corners' and such look pixelated. If you want or need some hints, tips or help with that (or anything else) feel free to ask. Now that I see this I'll keep a watch on it
keep up the good work

In fact i haven't fix them, i have completely rebuild them. At beginning i have make each part of borders in different files (save as PNG) imported them in SkinStudio (who save them as bmp or tag in function of the transparency settings) and rebuild them to match together pixel per pixel. It appear that wasn't the good way
.By SK i learned yesterday how make them. Here the link to his Tutorial
For Shell Animations i have use this two tutorials to find my way link 1
link 2
Just i use AVIQuick(free) in place of Flash
For make this WB i use the basic XP template in SKS and just look at many others WB where i can add or keep out this or this section/element
I love learn and share what/where i learn. And in this way, If you (all people) see errors/mistakes or get just ideas (just i want to keep my vision of this WB thus that's doesn't means i take all
) and want to tell me some tips or others you are welcome.For all others tips (in tutos or by myself) i think to make a List of tips with links after, like a making off. but i can also put them as soon as i found them here.
That's not means that i don't want put them here, just i need time to understand (or translate) well SKS, WB, and tutorials.
Hope that's clear with my english
