skinme will help you get started http://www.desertware.com/skinme/ however it is no longer updated however is good to get the placement of your toolbars and graphic elements however you will then need to edit the script ( uis ) manually with notepad. you will find info on creating a script here at snoopsoft http://www.snoopsoft.com/skins/creating.html If you wish to create a wisbar, icbar or gigabar you pretty much have to code that yourself... skinme is little help with that. goodluck and happy skinning.
