Can't create a skin, anyone can do that please?

[Marsupial]

Hello.

I am trying out silverjuke to put in my win98 kiosk computer (that happens to be inside an antique radio)

So far, the touchscreen controls are the best I've seen for a jukebox software that's win98-friendly

however, the skins available aren't exactly what I'd be trying to get.


The "silveriness touched" skin works awesome. But I'd rather have a wood-skin then a brushed-aluminium skin.



I tried to edit the PNGs of that skin, but all I get is garbage.
I mainly want to have a brown version of the skin, with the brushed alu changed for dark oak. Shouldn't be difficult.

but all I get is garbage random pixels. I surely do something wrong in the color conversion.

I've seen a skin named "wooden box" but it is not a "box"... what I'd really liked is "woodeniness touched" LOL.

if anyone could help making the skin, I'd like to see how it goes before my demo expires... and I've already spent two days trying to make it on my own, with no results.

Altough, I am thinking I'd register the software regardless of the skin, it just works great on my kiosk computer.

oh, is there a way to start directly in "kiosk mode"?

thanks.

If nobody else does and you can wait 2-3 weeks I'll be back from my vacation, sounds like the sort of skin I'd like to help you out with.

No problem, only IIRC you need to have it registered.

SilverEagle, that would be awesome.

Let me know when you're back from vacations.

[edit] in the meanwhile I am still trying, but your help making my skin "perfect" would be welcome.

By changing the files one at a time, and redoing several files, I managed to get a custom skin to work. Its not 100% perfect, but great ennough for me.

I am including the file in there. There's one glitch in non-fullscreen mode, and some colors aren't perfect. Help / hints would be welcomed.

the skin is based on silveriness touched, with only image changes.

there's a missing gizmo to resize silverjuke in the bottom, and when I maximize the display, there's a line of wrong color that I didn't find where to change. There are other things for sure, just need to find them.

Help / hints would be welcomed.

You changed z_bg_shape5.png. Just use the *shape.png files unchanged from the original silverness touched skin. I think that will fix both your issues.

I did not notice anything weird otherwise.
