I am sure I read a (few) post(s) on here saying to people somthing like "look at a skin someone else made and adapt it to make your own skin"

Some people may of read and thought it ment "take the skin and edit the files to make a skin" where as I read it and though "Look at someones skin get the image dimentions or search the rescource files and also look at the definitons files compare them with the originals to see how they made the changes"

Looking at other skins is good to learn but just changing the images and names is that skin to make it look yours is wrong

Yeah I am not as good at coding as stuart but I help where I can and we ave given both permission to edit the skin pack as we are "both" making it

When this whole skinning thing got released I thought "people will edit other peoples skins" and I feel this is ok if your learning then going to make your own skin not just edit it

There are various programs that can be used to compare files like "AtpDiff" i use to compare the definiton and style files to see wats been changed as well as using tutorials and documentation to work things out

I read most of the documentation before starting my first skin and its alot of reading but helped alot

Well this is my input into the discussion for now
