Bootskin Buddy makes making a bootskin much easier: http://hypknotic.deviantart.com/art/BootSkin-Buddy-30733603
You can create skins in almost any graphics program. Google bootskin tutorial and you'll get other tutorials that may assist.

did you try the gadget i linked you in reply #3?
and if yes, did you pressed the button to make the color palette of the wall exactly like the progress bar?
