Skinning

from WinCustomize Forums
I've never attempted to make a skin for windows vista and have no idea what software to use or even how to begin. Anyone know of a tutorial for basics for skinning or a walkthrough? Any sort of help would be much appreciated!

Phearx the WinCustomize Wiki is as good as any place to start. The link is to the main page. Try looking at tutorials there.

All you need is Windowblinds , Skinstudio 6 and a good image editing app.

Alright well I've got PS CS3, WB6 and I'm using the free version of SkinStudio until my funds update in PayPal so I can upgrade to OD. Would it be easy to use PS and pretty much make the task bar and start menu then slice it the same way you would for a website layout? And BTW I enjoy your work vStyler, currently I have Harmony as my vista theme nice work :CONGRAT:

That's a good one. I am going back to reading instead of more skinning. Just one article from there and I realized that I spent too much time figuring out stuff that is already explained well :(
