O.P. Huh?  Animated Skins
Hi, Is it possible to make an animated skin by using Windows Vista DreamScene? and then making it the contact list background or something?

Visit this link below to find out more about Windows DreamScene.

I know WLM 2009 makes it harder to make Quality skins etc but please can someone that does not have important things in there life try to make a fun, new innovative skin. Im sick of seeing the skins that mimic movies etc.. There not really good on Presentation.

There have been so many stupid skins such us Fantasia (Thats just my opinion) and I think its about time something Major happens.

Why cant skinning be simplified by making the process of modifying skins etc be put into a downloadable program... The only reason why I don't do skinning my self is because I find it to confusing with all those scripts etc and I don't know where to start. Even the official guide does not help. I find this really annoying:

      <Metadata>
        <UMLeft>1</UMLeft>
        <UMRight>1</UMRight>
        <UMTop>1</UMTop>
        <UMBottom>1</UMBottom>
        <Colorize>true</Colorize>
      </Metadata>
    </Picture>
  </Pictures>
</New>

It looks like the computer virtually vomited data onto the screen.

Please try and make a program.

Hope your inspired by my whining :)
