I'm sure a lot of people here will be glad to help you with your problems with Skinstudio. Give it a try. There are some documents on how to build skins with SkinStudio here on my blog: http://adam.joeuser.com/articles.asp?AID=10204

Too a tedious task for me to even attempt. Do you have any idea how long it would take for me to specify each image's size and format/etc? EEK! We'd be here for 3 weeks just doing the start panel. ...

My advice is open your graphics editor and image by image, double-click them and edit. There's really no faster OR better way for you to do this.

skinstudio isnt very user friendly,

Everyone feels that way at first........... the more you use SkS, the more it makes sense. Ask questions when you get stuck, but Never give up...... Never surrender!

There are a lot of tips and helpful people in the skinning section of the message board.Skinstudio has few tricky spots,but overall it dosnt get much easier...skinners used to do this without it...just notepad and a graphics editor.

IM= instant message / i am/ i met..... it could be any thing ... to expect someone to know which way you are useing it is ludacris...

looseing your temper will only drive away those from which you seek help ...(no one wants to work with a crab)

remember, "it's better to remain quiet and be thought the fool ,, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt" ..

This has a chance to become one of the all time great messages...

Which probably means that it will or should get locked in a short while.

By Checking the Author Info it says your name is "Jesus Christ", hence the interpretation of "IM GOD". Get it?

Try changing your attitude ...rather than getting crabby at those who are attempting to help. They're just having a bit of fun, dude. Lighten up.

OK,sorry we jumped on your nick...we already gave you some good advice to get you started.If you have specific questions,go to the skinning section of the message board and if someone knows the answer you can usually get help.

As far as getting someone to make YOUR skin for you...most skinners have way too many ideas and too little time...but will usually stop by to answer questions(or ask some)

Here is my advice....... open skinstudio, and open  a straightforward Blind, (one without animations or complicated stuff). Before you do anything else, go to "File, save as", and give it a new unique name. Now, go to WB configuration, and load that skin with the new name and hit "edit in SkinStudio."

when it opens, you can then RIGHT CLICK on ANY image in the preview and choose "Edit With", and then go to your graphic program.

When it opens in the Graphics program, create a new image over the top of the old one using your own ideas and designs. then go to "File, save a copy"and save it over the top of the old one (remembering to remove "copy" from the end of the file name. when you bring SkinStudio back up, the image will have been replaced with your new one. go to File, save, and then reload the skin to see the changes.

This is the way most of us started to skin WB's. by the time you have replaced all the images in the skin, you will have learned an awful lot about margins etc, and you'll be on your way.

If the above is too much for you to bother with, I don't think you will ever skin WindowBlinds......it's all about patience and long hours.

Have fun!!
