Firefox Skins?
Where are they
Sunday, January 9, 2005 by Sleeping Dragon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Brad put out a feeler question about what new categories we would like to have here at WC. One of the biggest requests was that we get a section for FireFox skins. Apparently Deviant Art is overflowing with them, and I know that Brad took a look at DA and agreed we should have one.
Where are the skins? We have a category that has remained at "0" skins since the day it was opened. Do those skins take longer to make than others, or are people just going to DA out of habit and selection, or is there really not a need?
Just curious, after so many people requested it, why there are not skins. Is anyone working on one?

I'm currently working on one myself. There is alot to skinning firefox.
Firefox has alot of CSS files and alot of images to edit.
I have been working on it when I can get a moment or so. But I at least did start a couple days ago.

All I need to know is. What is a really good program to create .png images? I use photoshop but I thought I might try another program if something is better then photoshop.

I'd seriously suggest trying Fireworks...its a really good png editor. I've found photoshop to have a few more features in terms of bevelling and such though. What version of photoshop do you have?

Don't think you will find anything better than Photoshop, but you might want a program that's easier to use, or that fits your needs. There are zillions of grapic editors out there, but the majority uses Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro or GIMP and a few others.

I still use 7. I haven't even looked at CS yet. All I heard the difference was that CS had more photo editing functions.
Edit -> I do have fireworks because I sometimes use it with my Dreamweaver.

LOL, ok
I would like to see Wicked's also.
Mine is getting there. I've just been busy the past couple days with school and other stuff that I haven't had very long to even touch it.

Isn't that enough? Me, personally, I only want so much skinned. All I want skinned is the icons, the "go" image, the folder icons, the scroll bar and the tabs... maybe the menus too.
I saw some of the skins on Deviant Art and man that is too much!!!
Anyway... With me wanting to do a FireFox skin, I have enough skinning projects on my plate for the next 3 months.
Being unemployeed is fun!

Wicked, that looks great. Alot further then I am
First I'm making a file check off list then I'm going to have a description next to each file to explain what they are used for. Once I get things organized, I'll probably post the info I gather up once I have my skin done.
Again, great job on the look so far. Plus what program do you use to get the screenshot to bevel like that? Just curious.

That's just PhotoShop. I feathered the edges and added a drop shadow.
