Hey all. I stumbled across the 8start launcher (the result of a convoluted chain of events that started at the GiveawayOfTheDay). As a software developer myself, I really appreciate well designed software and this launcher is well designed. It is deceptively flexible in its simplicity. It makes an awesome companion to Yahoo! Widgets.

I've done plenty of skins for Pocket PCs (for Today screens, various plug-ins, and PPX) totally about 900 different skins.

Here's a little sample of my work:

I'm dying to start skinning the 8start launcher but I haven't found any documentation on how to do it, or at the very least a description of what all the images fragments are used for.

Does anyone have any docs?

Thanks in advance...

If you want to try the skin while you make it, ensure you to have defined the correctly position of buttons (skin.ini).

For buttonsmall and buttonbig (I see ) is not necessary the dimension that is written in skin tutorial
(in my last UC skin I use only one pixel).

Fabio,

Would you mind doing a YouTube demonstration on how to create a simple 8Start skin?

Love8Start,

the best solution to make a skin (especially for those who want to start) is take one and edit every files... :)
