A NEW ERA IN SKINNING BEGINS!
SkinStudio 6 Beta is here!
Tuesday, August 7, 2007 by Frogboy | Discussion: OS Customization
Stardock is pleased to announce that the beta of SkinStudio 6 is now available for users of Object Desktop to try out and give feedback on. SkinStudio 6 is a complete re-design from scratch of SkinStudio.
With a totally new user interface and completely different design philosophy, SkinStudio is designed to make skinning much less labor intensive and welcoming to new skinners. Check out the linked to preview guide for a taste of what's in it.
SkinStudio UI.
With SkinStudio 6, combined with the upcoming WindowBlinds 6, users can expect a whole new era in skinning thanks to the drastically reduced amount of effort involved in getting into skinning as well as the amount of work necessary to create outstanding looking skins.

After working with V6 yesterday, I have a few observations of past and present. A nice feature of 5 was being able to click on the various parts in the preview and then taken to that section. Also, miss the coding tab in 5 and being able to see the coding in SKS. Granted a novice probably wouldn't be interested, but it is helpful to be able to see the actual code. Also, there are various items in Vista, though re-skinned, are not showing up for me when applied. Don't know if that is a problem at my end or if anyone else has encountered the same.
I assume there is going to be the usual buttons, i.e., save, save as, zip file, etc.?
Also, on "edit image", is there a way to be able to tell it which program, i.e., photoshop, etc., you want the image to go for editing?

starone: You can build as a WBA from the file menu.
To change the editor, go to the second page of the preferences tabs. You can pick a custom editor to use.
It is unlikely we will be providing access to the underlying UIS code or direct clicking on the previews.
