Screen Resolutions: Help, please...how do I make
Wednesday, June 2, 2004 by TN Brat! | Discussion: Skinning
Hi, I first want to apologise if this has been covered somewhere else...if it has just a link will do. I have looked for this, but to be honest...I didn''t dig deep!
OK, I''m a on staff of a RCT forum as both an objects designer and a Mod, and our site''s 2nd birthday has come up. I have decided to make a few skins to give as "gifts" to our members.
I''m doing a Logon Studio Skin, Boot Skin, Beatnik, Rainlendar, WMP, Window Blinds, to name a few...plus some wallpapers.
I sent a friend a Preview of the Logon and he said "Wow, that''s big, what screen resolution is this for?" Well, gee I never thought about it.
I use 1024x768 and didn''t realize that there would be an issue with others resolutions. So, I switched ny screen to 800x600, to see the difference...and there''s a BIG one.
What do I need to do to make the skins in the different resolutions so everyone can enjoy them.
I''ve submitted my LogOn here, but it may take a day or so for it to be seen, so here''s a link if anyone wants to look at what I''ve done. I believe that this would be for 1024x768 screen resolution, but I didn''t intend that to be the case, particully. I didn''t know that I had to worry about resolutions when I made it.

I would really appreciate the help. I just need to figure out how to make the different skins & walpapers in to different screen resolutions.
Thanks sooooo much!

If the link fails again, I''m sorry. I have FTP access to my database and I''m still learning how to link....A Mod can please remove it if I am unable to edit it later....

resize the preview in your graphics proggie. As for the skins themselves...Logons, WMP and WindowBlinds work independent of resolution, bootskins must be 640x480 4-bit color, and I'm not sure about Beatnik or Rainlendar, though I think most folks are running either 1280x1024 or 1024x768.
