Hello,
I started
one tutorial about skinning for beginners..unfortunatly it's in french.
There are a lot of pictures so you could just glance and if you have any question, feel free to ask there in english. It would be good for keeping my language skills.
The first changes are about older versions but works on the last one (except of the skinner panels). For the moment I'm quite snow up under projects so I will update it for the latest version from the next month only.
Somebody asked about a base skin for starting to work. Here's one . You don't have to ask any rights, it's something to share so..
If you need more panels, just use the ressource archiver. But you can start to change graphics (boxes, buttons,icons). If I can give you an advice, usually tables and panels are made of 9 png...to see what you changing, use a red colour or a yellow and use PS to change the middles png one..Reload and see on what it works.
Some boxes names are quite intuitive, you can understand just by names what you're going to change. About codes, one link had been given, you can also use my tutorial for basic change (attributes colours, treshold).
One more advice, if you want to change the attributes colour you should do it before lolading the skin for the first time as it seems there are some conflicts.
