Where To begin With Skin Design?
Tuesday, May 31, 2005 by cyber villan | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Ok, I've never made skins before, but I think I'll give it a try. I'd like to make some Windows Media Player skins or maybe even WindowBlinds. Do I use a program like DirectSkin or Windows Media SDK, or both? I'd really appreciate some help on getting started on this. I mean I'm having a little trouble seeing what steps one two and three are. Thanks.
