New skinning tool

Easier or too complicated?

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 by Jouketje | Discussion: Skinning

I was thinking.. wouldn't it be cool if there was one product, in which you could create skins for all stardock products? Like, having the SkinStudio interface at the start, and then choosing from create new: WindowBlinds, IconPackage, Dock, Logon, BootScreen, etc. That would make things a lot easier (i think). Even though I don't make skins So, what do you think?

Even better would be creating a windowblind in skinstudio and have a one click feature to create skin for... your choice of app. using your original graphics from the windowblind. That sure would be an extreme amount of UI files and .ini files to pack into one proggy and would probably crash your system on load up along with all the other stuff it would take to make it operable. Probably never happen but dreamin' is good

Yes, it would be not bad, but it is impossible....
At least some products to unite in one:
IconPackage + Logon + BootScreen

Nothing is impossible
lets hope one day it will be available a single studio creating all shell components.

Maybe it would make me buy OD and start skinning

Edit:
Well, I have bought WindowBlinds now, and started doing a wb. It's really, really hard
