Create your own skins

[sublow]

Would any of you guys be able to konck up a skin that has the same colour scheme is this?

It would look great on the x10 mini range as the rest of the phone is blue like the keyboard.

I would like the same layout of the HTC skin but a blue colour scheme.

zen, thanks for the droid keyboard, cool thing. But I'm splitting between galaxy and droid skins for now . The smartphone is moto milestone (droid for USA market).

Hi guys, Thanks a lot for sharing the good work!

I have a strange problem, I did exactly what was mentioned,

I created skins folder in SDcard and copied the skins inside it (just the zip files without extracting them), the skins appeared and I can choose any of them, but all I see then is just black background!

see the attached screenshot, this is the result for any skin I add other than built in skins

Note: I use Hero (Floyo 1.01 Rom), which is Froyo

Not sure if I understand fully but all files need to be in the same structure as the other ones posted here into a single ZIP file named the same as the name in the xml file. Also make sure the png files have been created with the correct batch9 layers included. I have had issues in the past if there are any artifacts in the batch9 layer. If you want, post your skin here and we can take a look.

Sorry I guess I didn't make my self clear

I'm not designing a skin, I'm using a ready one!
I downloaded few skins from users posts here in this thread and tried to use them, where I faced the problem I mentioned above.

A black skin means there was an error while reading the skin. Which .zip have you installed? Is it with the latest version of SKP?

I am also getting just a black skin for both the GlossBlack and the 3DKey skins. The Droid skin works just fine however, so I'm pretty sure I'm copying everything over correctly.

EDIT: if it matters, I'm using a rooted cdma hero with cm6 nightly #99 (froyo)

This may be answered elsewhere in the forum but I sadly don't have time to go through all the posts so here's my question: I would like to try out some of the skins that other people are making and playing with - is there a central area where I can go to and find them so I can add them to my SD card to use?

Thanks! Wendi

OK it's time to do things seriously, I will put links on the web site so that it's easier for everyone (and test them before so that you don't get black skins )
