Skinning methods ...or ... How do you grow a skin?
Wednesday, March 5, 2003 by vizo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm curious about the methods you use to skin.
For example one thought would be to develop the whole idea for a skin using drawing or a graphics program from a preconceived thought or idea. Another method might be to start with a single graphic image and build on that. Yet another could be just open a basic skin and start messing around in your favorite graphics program till you get something that looks good.
Also, what about designing all or most of the graphic images before even opening SkinStudio vs. making each graphic 1 at a time while building the skin.
What about it? Any skinners want to chime in?

Oh and fishing 
its a passion, I wade fish late at night and into the morning and even if I don't catch anything, it is the best night of my life everytime
Stars clear and bright, shooting stars and such of all colors, Cruise ships with all their lights on miles off shore, Porpise playing, Manatees lunking around munching on sea grasses and slipping up near you to hang out for a while and just watch. clouds blowing by at 30 knots on a mid air current shifting colors as they pass over lights and under the moon...
anway...

IPlural: DesktopX is a different animal altogether. I find it easier to make a DX theme than a WB skin, but the hard part is coming up with a good design for a DX theme in the first place!

My method of skinning is to use gas mark 5, and remember to baste the skin before putting it in.
