skin building tip

[psiodon]

I know this is simple and maybe obvious to some but I figured it out the hard way.

Use the origional skins and icons as your templates, if you use someone elses skins or icons, maybe they got in a hurry and sizes could be wrong, or items could be misplaced a pixel or two. Then you get in a hurry and maybe you throw things off a pixel and if its already off a pixel another pixel makes things worse! Better to take your time and start with the origional which you know is in good shape.

nice tip psiodon.

I was try to map skin image id in header and in images of skinfile when extract it by perl script. but motorola make some encrypt in header of skinfile. unlike in conres.ezx that i can easy map id. so in skinfile i can not map skin data to skin image. we can only edit skin in png file and becarefule about it position.
