I do have some standard templates that indicate the relative areas for buttons, etc.....and you are welcome to them.
As a matter of interest, as with a lot of people, I started with WinAMP by pulling apart an existing skin, modifying it, piece by piece, and observing the changes until I had worked out what each bit actually did. Yes, I know it seems awfully slow and tedious, but that is only because it is..
The IMPORTANT thing to remember, though, is that by the time you are happy with it and ready to upload it to the public, it MUST no-longer contain any of the original graphics, unless you have contacted the original author, and he/she has given permission to use them, and consent MUST be included in the documentation and skin description.....

Something else to remember....this doesn't need 3 separate threads on a message board....one would suffice.....I would have checked back with them again...

Snowman,.....what's e-mail?????......
