it would take too much time to the one who will make the video, and it wouldn't be helpful for you since everyone uses some tools they personally master. Ones would use the GIMP with google draw9patch, others would use only photoshop, other others would use Paint.NET, etc... in addition, we all forget a single detail while making a skin, and it's hard to understand when the maker switch from XML editor to picture editor again and again and again... each time to do a little little change!

all you need is a bit knowledge in picture edition, and a guide to follow...read the post from cyril, it contains every single information you may need, and even a sample to work on. You can give a look at my pdf guide too : http://lepetitpingouin.fr/smartkeyboard/tuto.php

Does it work if you open directly the draw9patch.jar program from the "lib" folder ?
if not, try re-installing Java from here : http://www.java.com/en/download/inc/win ... de_xpi.jsp, and then reboot your computer before trying again
