In fact, I think it will increase it, since the learning curve will again be lower with the aid of this basic skin. People who want to learn skinning and want to dive into it right away can use this skin. If they can't do what they want to do with this basic skin they can easly read the documentation. And because they have a working example, it would be even easier to understand I think.


Yes but the way Willz is suggesting will use some very advanced/long winded work-a-rounds for the RLE issues. Defining all those states in the styles etc for _multi RLE's (bearing in mind messenger uses at least 3 different tags to do the same thing, but some only work on some elements others not, (another proof of Microsoft's 'consistency' to it's own systems and standards 8-)) ) Something that I don't think new skinners will notice or understand should they start a skin from scratch, and there is no way anyone can expect Willz to document every change and explain how it works, that's just ludicrous and would be sooo long and technical/boring no one would bother to read it fully or take it in.

I myself have been working on a Template skin, that would use the original resources, with similar purpose in mind to what Willz has proposed, but I really just think I may as well delete it, and weeks of work, now seeing as willz is just going to go ahead and do it instead. 8-)

Although Willz is a good friend and contact of mine I do get pretty annoyed/depressed with his eliteness and skins, mostly because everything will always get compared to his works and people will want his options, his quality, his turnaround, and will always go for the 'willz' skin over some other, and anything less than that will be seen as inferior, and thus get slated or rated badly for something as petty as a custom options panel (or lack there of).

Guess it's just jealousy, although saying that I don't have those feelings about Zer0-G, Ev0-3 or Iron Man. *-)
