Trust me Dark, You'll be surprise.
I bought SkinStudio exactly 2 weeks ago, and when I open the program, I had no idea what the heck I was looking at. But a week later my 1st skin was on the WindowBlinds DL library.
I hope to see yours there soon

No idea? Looking at some your walls I would say you are more than capable of producing quality results. Go for it!

Forget making complicated 3d stuff...just redo XP luna with some different colors and try to mebby add some of your own texture...Just play around with PS (I assume you mean PhotoShop) and youll get the hang of it...If you right click on the tools that have a little arrow in the bottom right corner, youll be able to access some different ones like gradient, patch tool, vertical text, sharpen, and blur, et al. Or you could try a different program called The gimp, which is free and has many of the same tools that photoshop posesses. (My experiance with gimp helped me a lot when I first got photoshop opened up)

Crud, now I need help...Whenever I try to put the close/minimize/maximize/help buttons back where they belong at the top right corner...they always throw them selves all over the preview image. (In skinstudio) And as a result, I cant get those buttons to show up im my 'blind when I load it...(Through the Windowblinds prog)...Does anybody know whats going on?

I think I do..... go to "alignment" for your button....make sure the setting is for "relative to the TOP RIGHT of the window", or wherever you want it to be. If this isn't it, let me know and I will think of something else.

First... click on your button in the preview. Then in the right hand panel you will see "alignment" in the list. Then click on the little "+" sign next to it to expand it. you should then see "button alignment" and you can change it in the drop down box below the preview window.

Ok I found it...but it says that they are aligned to the top right...One more thing...when I click on the buttons in the preview, it does nothing. I can drag them, but they wont stay at the top right...they just spew themselves all over the preview after they are placed...

Remember....some buttons have more than one image. check in the left hand pane to see how many images are used for your button. For instance there may be two or three instances of a minimize button. Check each one individually, to make sure they all have the same alignment.
