Does ANYONE know how to create skins??????

[Guest eggedd2k]

I've got an SPV (original one) and I want to create my own custom home screens and skins.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for an editor or a tutorial??

surely it's not that difficult to do??

first check this guide on the MSDN site:

This question has been asked a lot so you should be able to find lost of answers and information in this particular forum "customisation - discussion"

If you have any particular questions then feel free to ask!

i've checked that link out already. are you telling me that there's no other way of doing it (like via a gui like frontpage?)???

Just browse around this forum for shi# loads of help. Start editing other people's xml and try it out on the phone.

BTW loads of people here know how to make great homescreens, and here is where we learnt.

ithink there was a guid editor in development at one point, but i havent heard anything more about it. Dont be intimidated by how complex it looks, you dont have to write it all yourself from scratch, you just take an existing homescreen and change around the values and play around with the xml until you get what you want.
