Question-Is there a guide to creating skins?

Meizu Miniplayer · 12-26-2007

I'm curious on learning how to make skins to show off to friends since they have miniplayers too and they dont check this forum much :D.
Is there a guide on how to create good skins?
I have resourceeditor 1.22.

Thanks

If there was a guide all the skins would look the same.
A great imagination makes a good looking skin.

no, they wouldn't.
it's just a guide for beginners on how to create a skin not the same pictures...

You could ask one of the pros at skinning. Go PM Madman, or Austin. They are pretty good.

all you have to do it get a copy of the Resource Editor (i see you already have one) and open the resource.bin. then you have to export all the images from this file to a folder, and when this is done you can edit those pictures with any photo manipulating software. final step is loading the edited images back to the resource.bin and save it somewhere, then load it onto the player!

i hope you understand my description :D

Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, GIMP, whatever you fancy.

I would love if someone had a list of each .bmp file and what it related to on the player screen. Some are pretty obvious, but others aren't. I have a bunch that are just blank.
