right idiot, when you start a skin, do not do the bitmaps seperatley, do them all as one then cut them out when you have finished.

yes!
make your skin in one bitmap and then cut the images out.
you can use a tool to cut the bitmaps out:

Whats the size (numberXnumber) of a whole skin?

Oh, I thought you were Xerxes. I was sooo confused.

That picture you posted earlier... it doesn't matter. It's just a detail. It isn't a button, so it has no function, therefore, you do not need to skin it in a separate bitmap.

Just finish the current design according to the template, or start your own based off of it. Make sure all of your functional buttons/displays/etc. are in the correct place. Then you cut them out (not by yourself... there are certain coordinates, otherwise your skin will look like it's a fux0red), and paste them into a new bitmap. Resize it, or, use a template, and save it as the proper name. Winamp recognizes these bitmap names, thus, knowing the bitmaps function. Winamp has a list of coordinates for bitmaps, thus, knowing what is what in the bitmaps.

Happy skinning. Glad you took interest.

C;eanup.. Can you email me the nokia font? idiot_24_7@hotmail.com

Cleanup 29th March 2003 14:59

I uh, I forgot what it was. Lol. It was so long ago. And I reformatted recently. I'll ask JasonL... hold up for a reply. And be careful, sometimes posting your email address like that leads to spamvertisements.

Should've been "idiot_24_7[at]hotmail[dotcom]"

I have to re-do the numbers.bmp (thats why the numbers are messed up)

But here's what I've gotten so far (and I've done some of the playlist avs and equalizer)

I just noticed that the viscolor background dosen't match up to the main.bmp color.. I put the same RGB values in.. but the viscolor is darker..

FooMonkey 29th March 2003 21:19

could be your color settings. are you at True Color (32)?

ryan 30th March 2003 03:05

OMG!!.. How did I end up in 16bit... Thanks =)

Cleanup 30th March 2003 04:05

I don't want credit on this. I must honestly say that the skin sucks, but only because you haven't really done anything to it yet. I suggest you remake the whole thing. It was made in MSPaint, thus, very messy. Just base it off of the design. But remake it...
