My Own Skin

[RockDJ]

Hi Boys and Girls,

I'd Like to create my own skin for aMSN because the only one I like (aquaish) can't be selected from aMSN on my iMacG5 PPC.

My question is:  is there any Software to create Skins?

thanks. Ciao

Yes, by hand my friend.... Design  Skills, imagination (more this... because your skills could grow with time) ... all you need
Personal, i use Inkscape plus Gimp for some shadows.

Cheers.

The fix was posted in my blog post. Delete the amsnicon.png file and you will be able to click ok.

Inkscape on Mac: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.44.1-1.UNIVERSAL.dmg?download
Gimp on Mac: http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/

Now to learn those apps, depends of yourselft to google some time. Theres a lot of tutos, docs. on the Net.

Actually there's not many unique GIMP tutorials. Most of the same and very few helped me.

Then you need to practice by yourselft I didn't read anything for Gimp or Inkscape....
Just you need to dedicate time.

Seashore is a great free alternative to Gimp that doesn't require X11 http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/15662
Pixen is good to http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13363
But yeah, Photoshop is the best

yeah sorry guys, i just always try use ONLY opensource Apps . Yes, i am agree, Gimp GUI style is not oo friendly for those who use Photoshop... and Inkscape is powerfull if you want it to be

GuS-Arg: Pixen is open source! If you want the source, just do a checkout from their svn server (svn co http://code.andymatuschak.org/pixen/trunk/), and also the same for seashore just download the source from his site. They aren't developed by large teams however, but they're still open source!!
