I've gone to different download sites and found a few skins that I enjoy. But being the curious sort, I am extremely interested in making a skin of my own.
I stumbled across this link http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/327703 and it explained in easy terms how to make a skin for the EVOX dashboard. I tried to implement the information from the tutorial to create a skin for the UX dash but, it didn't work.
I started looking through different skins I have downloaded, some are very complicated and others are as simple as 1 .jpg file 1 .xml file and 1 file named 'Square-10.xpr'
Now, I was able to load my own .jpegs into an existing skin that was already ftp'd to my xbox and I used the text editor to change some information in an xml document to get my images to work. However, since I was editing someone elses finished work the colors and text and such didn't quite match up.
So in short, does anyone know how to build skins - or can anyone link me to a skin builder program? Thanks

Hi,
I don't know of any skin builder apps but some other HQ guys may.. Hopefully they leave a reply..
I would just grab a theme that you like and ftp that theme to your PC and do some editing yourself.. That's how i learnt to make my own skin for XBMC and customize it more.
It's all just trial and error i guess.. If you do happen to find any cool utils be sure to reply back.
I know this is a old thread but if anyone else is wondering about this check out a program called UX Architect. I haven't used it in year's so i dont know if it's still around but it always worked perfectly.

ux architect Is a good program that can save you a lot of time and effort, I still preffere to build my skins editing the skin.xml by hand using the filemanager within unleashX.
I always thought I got ux architect from here, let me know if you still need it.
