Thanks a lot buddy...

No problem, it's quite easy. I don't know which image editing program you're using. I use Paintshop Pro. You just start with the 755 x 200 size master background and select 'crop' and point the cursor to 92 x 0 pixels counting from the top left and then drag it to mark a 548 x 200 pixel section of the image and hit the confirm button. You do the same for the 'Today' background except you start at point 32 x 0 and drag the cursor to cut out a 608 x 200 section.

I hope that explanation made sense...

Hi Raven,
Thanks a lot for the info buddy. Raven, actually i m using ACDSee and the settings which u have mentioned to crop the image don't work properly with ACDSee. Can u please give me the settings for PowerDesk as well as Today wallpaper settings as per ACDSee? Or buddy otherwise can u tell me where do i get Paintshop Pro? Thanks a lot anyways buddy.

Hi

Nice work definitly the XP skin. How did you manage to get the battery icon and send indication in color ????

Is it also possible to make some background for powerdesk (deskvie and today screen).

Thanks and nice work.

i downloaded the xp skin but don't know how to install it. skininstall on opl doesn't seem to recognize it.

might anyone know how to install the skin?

first you need this tool

i make it here.

i make 2 mbm

the mbm can you download here
here

i put the mbm in the direktory c/:myfiles/skins/green/0x102083E

the obly thing you have to do is change the mbm with skinstudio on your phone. when you put it in the green folder you have to change it in green

you can make it with your own screen. you dont have to use my skin. make your skin with the tool and use my mbm.

when you want to install the skin you must have the tool. with this tool you can install your skin without reboot...

No, sorry, the image has Tux in it. No way to remove him.

Hmm, ok, hehe...

Here's my first (and probably, only) skin:

My first skin 'AC_Skin_1' seen here in the AquaCalendar application.

It's available for download via this link. If you also read the notes, you'll see I don't think the skin is perfect because, for example, there are a number of colours I can't seem to change but I'm happy enough with it.

Hi,

everytime i put a new skin in the 9500 i have desktop blue with skin image around it, the skin image does not affect desktop icons and background which remains blue or ornage and i can not change the screen settings anymore, what am i doing wrong? any advise?
