Check your zip....

No, not your flies....

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 by Jafo | Discussion: Skinning

It's done!!!!

The greatest wall/WB/Screensaver/Logon the world has ever seen is finished!!!

Now, I MUST upload it immediately so all can gasp in wonderment.....

 

But...

Before you do....have a quick look inside that archive/zip/wba/bootskin/whatever and ask yourself....."are all these files actually necessary?"

Often there will be some 'strays'....left over from a time long-forgotten....or your system had a brain-fart during archiving...and archived an archive....bootskinned a bootskin....or just plain included 'junk' that had no relevance.

Real issue arises when any of that 'junk' is leftovers of something belonging to someone else...and here's you uploading/re-distributing it.....

Ooops.

Often the junk is actually your own [pst files, etc] but its inclusion simply makes the upload/file bigger than is necessary.

Best to check first...and 'keep it clean'...

If you have some extra files that goes with the skin like permission texts, wallpapers etc etc, just slap'em inside the .wba

 

We need to be careful about this because of 2 reasons. I wouldn't want all .jpgs to show up in my wallpaper section in WB, nor do I want ALL sizes of a wall in there, just the size I use.

 

Just saying...

And they will, too. I've had to go delete userpic and permission jpgs included in a skins folder to get rid of them.

Ditto what RnD said about multiple sizes/styles of wallpapers.
