Can I finish my xp skins in SKS on my new PC- Win.7 64-bit?
I am currently quite deep into two skins soon 2 be releadsed, but I have bought a new PC whith Win7.out
I have downloaded all the software again but now I feel abit desorientated about everything frankly. (just when I thought I got the hang of it)
Should I finish my xp skins on the old Computer ?
Or can I do that on the new one...DIZZY...

Yes, you can...I have SKS 7. Just make sure to make separate subsyles for XP and Windows 7. You will need to test the XP version on a XP machine, and the Windows 7 version on a Windows 7 machine. I make all of my skins in both XP and Win7 versions from my Win 7 machine, then I load the blind on my XP machine to tweak it. You will have to have the same version of SKS on both of your machines. If you no longer have an XP machine, I am willing to test the skin for you. Just PM me.

Should I just continue on the same skin then on the new pc but create a substyle for Win7 ?? I havent made any substyles yet since I havent really understood why.... I have still got the old pc whith the same sks7 so That´s not a problem...

Yes, just continue with the same skin you started. I would suggest you complete the XP skin before you make the Win 7 substyle...that way, you won't have to manually import a lot of the graphics in Win 7.

You're a WB skinner. Nuff said.

probably just repeating what has been said but finish one version first completely. when you make a substyle it essentially just copies what you have already made and you make changes just to the substyle. the substyle will save all of text and painting margins settings from the original style. saves a lot of rework.

If you have SKS7 I believe you can but don't take my word for it. Wait for one of the WB'ers to respond. They would know better.
