Could you make one with the Chevy Xtreme Logo in the middle?

If I get a chance yes. I was thinking of doing manufacture performance parts as well.

Maybe STI, SVT, mazdaspeed, etc.

All in good time young grasshopper.

Are you going to post these skins in the standard format generated by SkinMaker as a zip file on the MediaEngine website? I would like for you to.

Just have them in the regular:

SKIN NAME (DIR)
SKIN NAME.skn

If you have custom fonts, put those outside of the SKIN NAME directory. Put them in the same dir as the .skn file b/c that way people will know what to do with them.
Perhaps I will make mediaengine copy them over automatically, but for now make sure to do it this way. You are currently the only one skinning, so if you have any requests on things that I could skin on M.E. you would "like to be able to change" let me know.

I'm trying to get some of my graphic designer friends to work on it. I'll try to put something together as an example, but I'm not really that good with making original graphics. Hopefully you'll be able to do better.

Here's what I mean about it being completely skinnable:

Note that you can also frame the second row of buttons. There is a separate background image for them, it just happens to blend in exactly with the background in the screenshots shown.

MU HA HA HA!! I love the new seamless borders. I can definately start working on a new bottom for my next skin.

Actually I was going to make directories of just .jpg images and people just drop the file into the ME skin folder / xxxxx folder and replace the background image with the old one. That way it would be a smaller file instead of being say i.e. 45 skins I just have one skin and 45 backgrounds.

I'll upload the skin tonight when I come back from work.

And a zip file with directories of the images.

Hey, I got your back. In the next version, there will be an option to "disable that stuff thats not there now"... I will keep you informed through email.
