Tweak and Modify Other's Skins

from WinCustomize Forums

 

Lately, I've taken to tweaking and modifying certain skins so that they are more to my liking. However, I would not upload them and claim them as my own. Does anyone else do this as well? Like I am thinking of making a copy of Frontier and tweaking it. It's an awesome skin, but I feel that it needs a hover element when selecting something on the start menu. Just a little touch to make a great skin just perfect for my own use!   :grin:

It may even be fun to see screenshots of others modifications. Then again, maybe not. I dunno. Thoughts?

I did that sort of 'work' for nearly a decade. Loads of fun.

Feel free to dump a screenie in the current month's thread for screenshots. =)

It should be interesting to see what you come up with. Just a thought..have you given any thought to making one of your own? Don't shoot me if its a dumb question.

It was the way many people got into skinning...the urge to 'improve' ending up as the urge to create...;)

For now, it's just easier to edit and modify. I do not know how to create graphics, and I also do not have access to photoshop. But I do have a old version of Paint. Net though. Besides it would be hard for me to be able to come up with someone as good as the the following have done, Neone6, Vstyler, and so many others. Euphoria is a classic example of a Classic. Frontier is another. I can't wait to see what Neone6 comes up with next! Have a great day!

Ha.. I remember an episode where Boxxi modified one of TSF's skins and posted a screenshot. TSF got bent as hell about it. Funny stuff!!

Don't let that example stop you though. I won't dive in to the anal nature of that episode. . .
