is there a break down anywhere that describes what each of those codes relate to?

My entry:) i did some cool things with the .cfg too
After playing around with that a bit I was able to make the skins turn out pretty much how I wanted...
Though I have a question... this might be a bug, or it might just be the way it was written but whenever there is a horizontal menu (like OK/Cancel, or TSOP/Flash/HDD) the color of the highlight is the dialog border color rather than the dialog highlight color. Not sure if this is meant to be this way, it would be nice if I could set the high light independent of the border.
This skin setup is pretty simple (I especially like the auto font resizing), and has some great potential I can't wait for transparencies and font selection to become available.
Also another question, is it possible to make "comments" in the CFG file? I'd really like to tag the config file....
here are the back-drops from my first 3 skins
These are all made from photographs that I took myself (no rip-offs here )
Also I highly recommend actually installing the skin and taking a look at it before you pass final judgment, as I spent a lot of time tuning the colors and placement of the menus to blend nicely with the back drop...
Expect to see a few more skins from me in a few days
you can download all these skins here:

Bwsk8,
What does the last number (9) stand for on your cfg file?? Does that define transparencies?
That MS Dash one is looking cool. Is it OK if we take skins from dashboards (with the author's permission of course) and use them for the XeniumOS contest? I was wondering that because that MS Dashboard skin isn't really his design. Would that count?

1. Dialog text color
no! it should work without any settings being played around with. check ur OS version number!
The first is a spin off of avalaunch's blu2 skin:
And the second is an original idea/image
Go grab the skins and the included .cfg files from my website here:
http://appleguru.org...BOX/XOS2 Skins/
PS: The first one has white menu text, the second black
You can use these skins on any xenium, you just need to upgrade the OS to the newest version.
Only the new versions support skins.

QUOTE
Well I don't know what you consider "ages".... but updating the OS takes about 5-10 minutes at the very most.
It takes no more than 2 minutes

go to www.teamxodus.com. download the file, put it in the root of your E:\ drive, then enter recovery mode in the xnium os. Thats it.
QUOTE(khabmth @ Dec 31 2004, 09:00 AM)
so how do i go about getting the file, and it takes you 2 mins, coz u donw it b4, but as im new i have to read the instructions and that might be over 20 pages!
ok i eat my words, i did it and it was quick! but i dont know how to put the skins on, i tired putting the skins to the made up directry - E:/XeniumOS/Skin
with the folder and the skin i wanted ( with .cfg and a jpg), but when i put this on, and i go to the setting, the only skin i can have is the default, as there is no others??

It uses the same cfg as the last skin I posted.

but to all that dont know cuz i had some trouble figuring this out, you must have xenium os 2.30 as well as creating a folder on your E:
E:\XeniumOS\Skins\*Skin Folder Here*
and here is the config skin.cfg

Well they did say it was going to be after the twelve days of christmas... but they never mentioned WHICH chirstmas.
Its funny how both you guys were kinda concerned you'd missed the wining announcements, but both end up becomming finalists!!
you guys both did excellent work in skinning for the Xenium OS and I will roast a fatty in you guys' honor!
