OK, this is my first attempt at making a skin so I am sure I am going to have a few questions.  It is going to be mainly black with blue buttons and outlines.

I'd be afraid to push a button that shiny; I'd get greasy fingerprints all over it.  :D

there's also a chance your finger could slip off its so shiny and end up pressing something else. just something for you to take into acconut when making the skin.

I like the look of the button too, do you know what software he is using to create them?

OK, I have most of the buttons made, now how do I make a SKIN?  I am trying to use the TruBlueSkin as a template but just can't figure it out.  I would like to take out the girls and make the Album Art Outline more rounded and have the blue match my buttons.  Maybe even have the background all black, not sure still working on that.  When I make the background should that be at the resalotion I want 1024x768?
