Help with skinning Desktop X
Thursday, January 2, 2003 by Cyberworld | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I've been recently trying to skin Desktop X and i must say i was doing pretty good.I made a fully functional skin that included:
a.Winamp Controller.
b.Minimal Winamp Controller.
c.Equalizer For Winamp.
d.Lots of meters and counters.
e.150 shortcuts with Mouse over and down animations.
f.Mail and net use checkers.
g.Menus and an easy to use GUI.
h.Analog and digital clock.
All in all i ended up with a 7-8 Mbs skin,rather big yet equal to its applets,plugins and graphics.
Now the problem i encounter is that it doesn't load.
I get the following error when trying to load it:Error reading 'PNG |
Please anyone who knows how to fix this please respond.
Is this caused by the filesize of the skin or the complexity of the skin(has about 800-900 graphic *.png* format files in the theme directory)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

That is a fair few files. Not sure if it has any limit. If you want to send it to me at [email protected] I'll be happy to analyse it using a tool I have developed which can split a theme into seperate objects. Or you may want to contact stardock directly to see if they want to take a look at the theme.
