hi there everyone, i am trying to develope a skin i know what i want to acheive but do not know how to do it all, there are very little tutorials available on skinning right now and ideally i would like to have my skin released before christmas if possible.

the areas of my skin which i need help with are as follows:

  • word wheel
    contact list dashboard
    contact list toolbar
    convo window dashboard
    convo window toolbar
    testing (works fine for me but nobody else can get it to work)

if there are any nice people out there who would like to help me with this skin i would be extremely greatful.

thank you freak544 and duck, my skin is kinda basic in the sense that its mainly just puts in custom backgrounds to various elements so i want a custom background on the word well, dashboards and toolbars but dont know how to do it. im great with making the images required just not so good at the coding it all in.

I learned a quite bit of them by reading line by line, and looking what each line does. And how the attributes given changes the appearance of the element.
