Hey,
I have a moderate knowledge of xbox modding, but when it comes to skinning, i'm brand new. I've looked around for a skinning tutorial, but havn't been able to find any programs to do it with (seems to me like they're illegal?) I was wondering if someone could direct me to a tutorial that says (from scratch) how to make a background in Photoshop (or whatever) and turn it into at least a basic functional XBMC skin. Thanks in advance!

There is so much involved in skinning man it's alot more than most skinners will want to put into a tutorial. what i have done is read everything i can fine, and search .xml files, and study every skin available and i still am at a loss most of the time.
I think it is a great idea to get a team together and work as a team rather than an individual. That way one or 2 people can do one thing and so on and so on.

Look here All you really need to make a skin is a text editor and photoshop or similar program.
Well I've been tinkering with MXM Skinner.....it doesn't seem too hard to use....just a bunch of .png files and it converts it to .xml. But when I read your wiki link, it was talking about the .xpr files...is there no easy way of doing this?
