Skinning´s Frequently Asked Questions

Thanks EviL, I hope we can add to that skinsophenia page... and maybe add a few funny questions as well, like: <BR> <BR>Q : OK, I downloaded the skin.. what do I do now?!?

uhm... nah, I&acute;m not going to get into that Crae.. I think we&acute;ll just wait and see what skinbase comes up with, and damn it, we have 300 apps here, the information has to be very comprehensive indeed.

I sense a &quot;but...&quot; in there.

Thanks Kenray, that was interesting reading and is still a good resource.

Hmm, that means they actually figured out already that they need another program to use the skins, though. I don&acute;t think they get that far.

no crae, the most commonly asked question is not simply &quot;help?&quot;, but &quot;U mean, I have 2 download a program 2 make this thing change my windows? this sux&quot;

Grim: At one time I was thinking of doing that very thing, but I kinda ran outta time and steam. I also started a glossary of skinning terms, so that people would&acute;nt get lost in the skinners vocabulary: <BR> <BR>(a little chunk of what I did) <BR> <BR>http://elwin_ransom.tripod.com/glossary.htm

why do people skin icq i guess the same reason they skin any program ...lol because we want to do it <BR>maybe we just bored or need to exercise our creative side of the brain or maybe as a subspitute for sex there are many reasons .......:0

Where can I find some lamens term instructions on skinning WMP7 or 8. The SDK reads like stereo instructions. I found an interview with Jumbles that made more sense but she didn&acute;t go into detail.

Perhaps you could ask J?
