the path will only be made if you have created a new one. so before you could copy the *.skn file to the folder you must create he folder manualy or create a new skin with skin editor so that the path will be created for the skins.
out of memory mean just that. too many apps running. most probably you are running smart launcher, close that first before running skin editor. You have to only do this when you are changing the pic.

Have someone made any cool skins yet?
The ones on smartlauncher's site sucked! Except the XP skin which was very nice.

Has anyone got any new actual skins (together with masks) that i can use. At the moment ive got the XP skin but i dont really like it.
It would be very nice if someone who has already created an icon explains the procedure... and also a place in the net where someone could find icons and prepare them for smartlauncher...

the icon mask is for transparency purposes. the black area is the area that the icon image resides in. anything outside the black area will become transparent.
baste07
29-04-2003, 11:37 PM
ahh.. thanks now i get it...
so basiclly the icon and icon mask are the same?

29-04-2003, 11:52 PM
can someone write te procedure on how to make icons? thanks :D
evobit
30-04-2003, 02:02 AM
First of all create your icon to the right dimensions (42x29 MAX ) - use white where you want it to be transparent.
Save the file (eg myicon.gif)
Then, change all the coloured pixels in the icon to black (so it is now black and white only).
Save the file as something else (eg myicon-mask.gif)
That's all there is to it. I use gif's because they are small, but other image formats should work too.
baste07
30-04-2003, 02:11 AM
how about the icon mask?

Sorry if it wasn't clear... the second file you save is the mask. It should look like the example on the SLauncher webpage.
baste07
30-04-2003, 03:29 AM
thanksl
if i ocnvert the second image (mask image) to grayscale, will that work?
piney
30-04-2003, 11:12 AM
The Mask is monochrome (Black and White), save it as a 2-colour image (smaller file size). It would be wasteful to save it as grey-scale.

I use Paint Shop Pro by Jasc. You can easily get a free version (outdated and not current, you can find them included on magazine cover cds).
- First make a selection around the icon and cut that area out (having a background colour of black)
- Then invert the selection and cut it again (having the background white this time)
- Then decrease colour depth to 2 colours and save.

Has it got to do with my msg being set to save under mms?
Or m i doing something wrong somewhere?
I would like to share this skin skin with u...
It's actually mjsee's WinXP skin with a few changes and new icons by me...
Hope u like it...
The following days I will add some more icons...
The reason I took mjsee's WinXP skin is because the background picture is fucking great... Thanks mjsee!!!:)

Is there any way of having the launcher skin full screen, when the keypad is locked, you lose about half a CM a the bottom.
and will there be a plug in so you can view the Battery and Signal status...on the main screen, where the icons are...not the launcher screen....
