    Xzit : a title simple and MorphOS-focused will be nice. Exemple : "MorphOS Skins Page".

    And don't forget to add a text to present your page : what is MorphOS ? what is a skin ? how to use them ? etc.

    @Pampers:

    A tutorial doesn't exist. The idea to make one went out in this topic and I proposed myself as one who could try to make it.
    I'm waiting some "tips" from Jacadcaps (that is much more expert of me :-)) but in the same time MorphOS 2.4 came out and this is enough to make him much more busy as before, as he pointed.
    Try to start reading a "SkinConfig" file of a skin (in "BlueMarineSkin" there's one commented and I added some more) modifying single parts of an existing skin to see what you are changing. I started from "Ferox" skin, that is the most complete (personalized windows bar and arrows, shadows).
    I'm writing all I discover as it could be useful. I will let you know ;-)

    Hi thanx for your nice skins!

    @all If i change to 16bit to save vram and use Jambalah's skins on my mini the system becomes very slow in rendering graphics, do anyone know why? is it because of transparency effect?

    Hi Dake! It's a pleasure you like them!
    For the system becoming slow, I guess is a conseguence of transparency. Or better of enhanced display. Try to deselect it in screen settings and see what will happen. Shadows and transparency won't be active and system should be faster.

    I've been drawing some border graphics for my Ambient skin but when I select my theme in System settings Ambient does not show them.

    What is the rule Ambient uses for deciding whether to show border graphics ?

    My guess was that you need graphics for all parts of the border and that sizes should be compatible. My theme does not use transparency (yet).

    There is always the www.amiga-look.org where you can upload themes, wallpapers, even your MUI preferences and Icons so that people could find and use.

    jacadcaps,

    Yeah, sure. I'll try to prepare some simple list of all the supported switches, flags and bitmaps as soon as I'll have some time for it (in not more than a few weeks I hope ;)


    Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but was this list of switches, flags, etc. ever posted anywhere? I've gotten reasonable results thru trial & error, but can't help but feel that I could do more if I knew more.

    Thanks.
