Thanks to your SIG, i now want to change my Skin!

Is there a "How To" guide anywhere?
or is it like...."Put pics into folder /call folder somethin/ and store into "Skins" Dir.?

Your best bet is to do what I did, download a skin and look at the structure of the .ini file. It's pretty basic and straightforward.

Skin Name. This is so EVOX can find it and place it in the skin menu.

SkinName "Gran Turismo 4","Gran Turismo 4"

[Skin_Gran Turismo 4]

Skin Text, this is where you 'place' your text on top of your image. I use a 'shadow' technique here, putting down black text, and then putting some slightly offset white text directly on top of it.

Text = 60,51,1,0x000000,0,"<Time>"
Text = 59,50,1,0xFFFFFF,0,"<Time>"
Text = 60,87,1,0x000000,0,"<Temp1> <Temp2> <Temp3>"
Text = 59,86,1,0xFFFFFF,0,"<Temp1> <Temp2> <Temp3>"
Text = 580,36,1,0x000000,1,"<SpaceC>"
Text = 579,35,1,0xFFFFFF,1,"<SpaceC>"
Text = 580,66,1,0x000000,1,"<SpaceE>"
Text = 579,65,1,0xFFFFFF,1,"<SpaceE>"
Text = 580,98,1,0x000000,1,"<SpaceF>"
Text = 579,97,1,0xFFFFFF,1,"<SpaceF>"

Logo Type. You have 5 choices. 0=Large, centered, and 1-4 for smaller logos placed in either of the corners.
LogoType = 4

Images. This is where you specify the location and name of your main and load images. They must be named correctly, and in the properly named folder, or else EvoX will revert to the default skin.
Main = "\skin\Gran Turismo 4\GT4_main.jpg"
Launch = "\skin\Gran Turismo 4\GT4_load_1.jpg"

Menu bar and menu text colors.
BarColor1 = 0x28F7CD
BarColor2 = 0x28F7CD
BarAlpha = .5
MenuColor1 = 0xFFFFFF
MenuColor2 = 0xFFFFFF

You dont REALLY need to know all of this, it's better to start out using a prog to do most of the dirty work. I use Evox Skinner v 1.27 It does a pretty good job of showing exactly what the skin will look like when it's displayed on a TV (Evox cuts off a significant amount of the edge of the image(s)

If you need any more help, let me know.

....Cool! Thanks!

But is there not a "Plug-In" for Photo Shop/Paintshop Pro" to do this all for you?

It looks pretty good. However, have you posted the complete skin (with skin.ini and loading screen) anywhere, like xbox-skins.net or allxboxskins.com? I wanted to see how it would look on my television. I suspect some of the text will not be visible on at least some televisions. Televisions will cut a bit off the skins, so the edges won't be visible.

If you look at the image below, generally speaking only the area within the pink rectangle will be visible. Time, bios, and ip might be cut off a bit.

But, if you tested it and it looks okay, that's fine. Just something to be aware of.

At xbox-skins.net, you can update your skin. But, at allxboxskins.com, you cannot.

I'll test it tonight and let you know how it looks. It may be fine the way it is.

I tested your Tidus and Yuna skin, and, as suspected, some of the text is cut off. You might want to just move the "Time" down and to the left a bit, and "Bios" and "IP" to the right a bit.

If you want, you can e-mail skins to me (phizzy AT charter.net) so I can test them before you post them.
