Making "Frames" for DesktopX Themes

Monday, February 14, 2005 by Mike Regan | Discussion: OS Customization

Hi, new to Desktopx and making themes. I think I understand the basics re: widget and object making and modifying existing screens (to some extent) but now I want to make my own theme with customize buttons etc. I have Photoshop 7 and Paintshop Pro 9 though I am less than weak using them. My main question is "How do I make the frame on the screen that I eventually put my widget/objects in?" I've seen some great stuff (like those designed by "gef") Wow. BUT, if I'm able to make a "novice" theme, I think I could keep on improving it over time as I progress through the graphic program docs.
Any detailed tutorials out there that you can direct me to? Or do you have any help you can offer? Or can anyone come over to my house in Tennessee and give me instructions (thought I'd throw that in to get your attention) Thanks much!!
