Tuesday, August 12, 2003 by Satans Child | Discussion: Skinning
I am new to this community and am not sure who to direct this to so, for everyone and anyone. I've searched for a good horror/occult skin everywhere and have come up short. I wanted to creat one myself but alas my incomeptence of photoshop, and windowblinds is really slowing me down.
Heres the thing. I have put up two links to loosely show my concept for the start menu. I would like for it to look more "real" than it does and have no idea how to go about it right now. I can'nt figure out the transparency just yet either.
What I would like is for someone/anyone to try this skin. I have seen alot of the work that goes up on this site and am sure there are plenty of capable people here (beautiful work on this site).
I would just like to see it in a more "grungy" manner than most of the skins here (maybe a grunge brush used for the shadowing or something, maybe a pumping heart for the start button (if possible)and for the window borders, four bones surrounding connected at the corners by joints.
Please, I know someone can do it. It would probably take me two years to finish myself. VERY sorry for the long post!!!

Beleive me I know what you mean!! I haven't skinned anything yet and can't wait til I do the next one 
I'm trying different things right now and am going to have something up in the near future. But hey thenks for actually reading a board besides the "general topics" seems like not very many people like to travel the back alleys of WinCusto

woo hoo thats three now
Thanks for the offered help, your so sweet
I'd probably be bugging you more than you'd like.
I have SS, I just haven't delved into it just yet. Time really hasn't been much on my side the last couple of months. But things seem to be slowing down a bit so I may start playing real soon.
Its just intimidating and daunting! Where the heck do you even begin ?

There's a manual?
There's no hope for me I see that now. I didn't even know there's a manual out there.

I have psp 7, and now I'm learning Photoshop 7, just recently got it.
Are the manuals, under "Documentation" in Stardock Central?
Because I don't see anything for a manual?

I am willing to help you, but you have to make it yourself... really, its LOT of fun, and afterwards you want to skin more... its addictive you know
