What happened to all the skinners? Anything new in the works?
Thursday, April 28, 2005 by TheOtherGods | Discussion: Community
Not aimed at anyone, just curious, as I'm always anticipating the really creative and excellent skins. I haven't seen any really quality or very creative skins in a very long time. I'm talking along the lines of things like GT3, Antares, Quasar, Transilvania etc. Is anyone working on any skins that are a bit more creative/usable for the near future?
Oh, and for the "flamers"... don't bombard me with nonsense like, "don't complain if you cant create it", as I'm not putting anyone down. I'm a web designer who works constantly, and I don't have the time to do yet more art with WB. Just hoping for some more really quality skins in the near future.
Cheers.

| If by PSP you mean PaintShopPro, it does, indeed, have layer support. Love it. |
oops!... what I meant was PSP 5 has no layer support (in reference to his question) that's why I suggested looking for version 6, where layer support began in PSP (I get the impression he is trying to get by on the cheap right now) 
........... I should have added that I highly recommend PSP 8.10, or 9.

Well, here's a link to a free download for a decent graphics program, which also supports layers. http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/index.htm

Many thanks for the help, people, being that I'm relatively new to computing and the concept of skinning, I appreciate it alot.
As for wanting to do it on the cheap, it's a case of having to after not long ago spending Aus$3500 on having a computer built for me from scratch. My wife would not appreciate my spending much of a sum on additional software at this point.
My sister uses Digital Image Pro on numerous kinds of scrapbooking projects and felt the latest version for my birthday could help with my skinning interests. Oh well!
Having said that, I used the link to investigate the free download, thanks ama02, and I'll play with that to see if I have any potential before venturing into more recent versions of PSP. The rest is now up to me, with the help of some tutorials I got from WC. Thanks guys

Doesn't anybody feel that WinCustomize should have a section for Work In Progress skins??? Maybe those who don't finish can be finished by someone else?
Sadly, there is no where to upload such items!!!!

Joe WC does have a section for unfinished work.
The GRAPHICS section [ https://www.wincustomize.com/Skins.aspx?LibID=18 ] is where a lot of skinners upload images, templates, half-done skins, etc. for those that are interested in finishing the work.
Keep in mind of course that the images still belong to the original author and anyone that commits to use or complete the unfinished work should give the proper credits to such author.

Actually that's incorrect......... anything uploaded to the Graphics library becomes public domain, so be careful what you submit.
The fact that this is no longer stated on the new site could be a problem, but that's the way it has always been...
If you do use something from the Graphics library, you really should credit the original author in any case.

An update for those who replied to my skinning questions:
I just got PSP 5 from a CD that came with a Windows XP magazine and installed it. From initial looks, it seems to have layer support as there is a separate window when first run that has "add -remove layers". If this is the case, I should be able to practice some and acquire some experience with what I have on hand. Cheers guys
