I wouldn't worry about cursors right now as they aren't a crucial or required part of the skin. If anyone knows a free one, I'm still interested. :p
Edit: I haven't tried this yet http://www.take1.de/ so I don't know how easy it is or how well it works, but it looks like you can make cursors with it too.

mike-db 24th February 2005 05:47

you can but its pretty stupid i dont know my serial number.
it asks a bunch of stupid questions. i meani just want to make a simple cursor.
Edit: wut does a cursor save as? is it .CUR?

LuigiHann 24th February 2005 06:04

Yeah, it has to be .cur, but the problem is you need a cursor program, or it won't work. I got the program to work, the serial number they give you is inside license.txt. It's a bit annoying/confusing but it might do what you need, but you're right it is overkill. I don't know of anything else, try Google and see what you can find.

Was it ever free? I had to use cracks on it for as long as I can remember to stop it becoming crippleware after 30 days or whatever it was.

LuigiHann 24th February 2005 16:16

My old version had pop-up warnings after 30 days, but I was still using it for like 1000 days over the trial period. The new version has simply stopped working.

mike-db 24th February 2005 17:16

thats wired.
hey i need different colurs for this and i dont know how to get red for these can some one show me?

SelectedBG=#944E11
MbFG=#FF8924
MbBG=#1A120A

and how do i change this?

jerimiah40 24th February 2005 17:58

red #FF0000

So, if you wanted pure red for all of those, you would type:

SelectedBG=#FF0000
MbFG=#FF0000
MbBG=#FF0000

IF you want a different color of red though, keep experimenting, or theres things on the internet that show you the #'s for colors.

mike-db 24th February 2005 18:22

Ok. Thanks

LuigiHann 24th February 2005 18:56

I would not make Mbfg and MbBg the same color. When you have a video playing, the text in the video window is the MbFg color, and the text background is MbBg. If they're the same color, you won't be able to read that text.

mike-db 24th February 2005 18:59

well im just exparamenting with it so far it looks good in the play list but I change it by guessing and using some off th tutorial page.

[Text]
Normal=#FF0000
Current=#FFFFF0
NormalBG=#1A120A
SelectedBG=#1A120A
MbFG=#FF0000
MbBG=#FF0000
Font=Univers

Edit: So far it looks good for the video. im just going to have to test it out when my mom leaves.
(she thinks me making this skin is recking her computer)
And heres the New Beta version. For thoughs of you who think "what the hell is he doing"

Yep

mike-db 24th February 2005 20:20

wut do you think?

k_rock923 24th February 2005 21:15

As far as programs, there is a program i had once that let you change the date that the software thought it was running to get around trial programs. I don't rememer what it was though. Icon Art is the best I've found lately.

mike-db 24th February 2005 21:49

cool! yes im going to be like Bankoo here. i already found a icon and cursor maker and i have made the cursor i just need to find out how to make it work.

LuigiHann 24th February 2005 21:52

If you made the cursor it should work. Save it in your skin, the names have to match the ones in skinners atlas (for example "normal.cur," "titlebar.cur," etc.)

mike-db 24th February 2005 21:57

oh ok that might be the prob. and should i also put in the cursors from the skinners atlas?
This is really pissing me off im done my skin just two more things to do and i can submit it but i cant seem to find where i can change this one part!!

k_rock923 24th February 2005 21:59

you need only one copy of each cursor in each folder

mike-db 24th February 2005 22:01

folder?

k_rock923 24th February 2005 22:04

or skin. For your skin. You just need one instance of each cursor. Once you make your own custom cursors, you no longer need the original skinner's atlas ones. Just make sure you name yours the same name. In fact, the easiest thing is probably to save them as the correct name in your skin folder. That way, they will simply overwrite the skinner's atlas ones.

mike-db 24th February 2005 22:24

yea i did that and it did not work.
wwell i have 3 stlas cursors left but that should not be the problem

edit: you know what im so pissed of at the thing im gonna say im done i'll finish the cursors and you guys can unzip it and fix it your selfs easy for you isint it?

LuigiHann 24th February 2005 22:27

put up another zip or wsz with your skin and the cursors and we can see if we can tell what's wrong.
-Are you sure they have the right names?
-are they all .cur?
-did you make them with a cursor program so that they're actually cursors and not just pictures?

k_rock923 24th February 2005 22:35

Shot in the dark here, but do you have the option to use skinned cursors checked?

mike-db 24th February 2005 22:40

Yes it is checked.

LuigiHann 24th February 2005 22:44

Options
Preferences

LuigiHann 24th February 2005 23:23

Well, now we know which parts of the readme you didn't read. :p

mike-db 24th February 2005 23:26

yea lol. im looking for it now. infact i only read that part about the MAIN the rest i was guessing and getting help from you guys.

Edit: my bigger brother just walked in the door and he asked me if i was done my skin yet. i said no and he comes up to look at it and he says its hard on the eyes. lol:p

k_rock923 24th February 2005 23:32

that file is called PLAYPAUS.bmp

mike-db 24th February 2005 23:41

Thanks.

YES!!! im done! no more yelling at the dumb dogs for winning because of my dads music no more!!!!!

How do i take a snapshot of my skin?

Edit: maybee not:( to more buttons to fix :igor:

k_rock923 24th February 2005 23:46

well, you can take a screenshot by taking printscreen, open up paint and then using the cutout tool to select the skin, copy that open a new paint and paste it in. then save it as a jpg or use a program that supports png. Please don't post bmps because they are annoying to have to open it. Well, not so bad for us linux users, but sill a pain.

mike-db 24th February 2005 23:47

ok any other way?

k_rock923 24th February 2005 23:50

That's fairly simple. I use the gimp to take screenshots because it has that option. But as far as mspaint goes, that's pretty much it.

mike-db 25th February 2005 00:15

dang.
