Totally agreed

Sharing is caring!

Well i was thinking (PS, i havent read any of the posts just incase someone HAS said this....)

I was pondering on making a Open Source Newb Guide. Willz guide is good to become a proper skinner. But what the Newb Guide would do, is help people with there problems. For example, you would have a single post linking to all the other Newb Guide posts. And each other post, will have a title like "Newb Guide - How to add a background in a conversation window" or "Newb Guide - How to change slider"

You know that sort of thing, a bit more specfic sort of guide.

The reason someone rips is there lost, its to much for them, they get someone elses skin and just change an image here and there and thats it. By having a more specfic guide, they can slowly work there way up. So just say, someone is looking at there messenger and thinking "Damn, wouldnt be awesome if there was a giant flying pig in this background". There not going to look through tones of Documentation, there just going to rip someones skin and change the image. Although the Open Source skin DOES solve this (or at LEAST partially). I still think we should have a newb guide. .


I was going to start it up, but I dont know anywhere near enough about skinning, all i can do is change images . And add an option or two in. I cant do many of the UIfile stuff..... So yeah, just thought id get the idea out there and hopefully someone else can give it a go


EDIT(I read the last couple of posts): I know what phaze two is.... its where Willz shows us his secret to his skins. His genuise rooster!!!! His just the guy who feeds it. Otherwsie the Rooster does all these posts and coding and imaging! Willz is just there for the mug shots .

And dont try and Deny it willz, i know its true!!!

i like the skin mod idea, and i think there should be a bit of collaboration between designers instead of plagiarism but hopefully less of this will occur with the release of open live, i would like to be able to change skins though even though i'd never release anything just to remove stuff and move things around

an open source skin idea is more professional, if some one don't know any thing about designing languages but they wanna edit the skin on how artist they are ... this is going 2 be very easy and the skin will be 100% right and the skins in plus will be very popular thing .
