VG Factory for Clie ALPHA Build, Build 072804.

Thanks

Personally, I use the scripts in my skin generator:

Or try Festus440's Skinmaker for TH55. You will have to use the battery icons supplied in Clie Skinner for other Clie models, but I find that with the complexity of icon states (memory stick and battery in particular) it is far easier to manage the "one icon at a time" approach than to work with 6 different images or a 6 layer bitmap, which is the way the scripts mentioned above work. Just a matter of preference... try them both.

Take this link, then go about half way down the page.

I assume the way the Festus440 skin maker works here is that each icon has a transparency, so it can be fitted in? The only problem with this approach is that unless the skin maker supports png files and alpha blending, you're not going to get antialiasing on the icon edges.

To create my status bars I use Festus440 SkinMaker also. I just posted my new status bar in the Skins & Backgrounds. :)

Thanks for the info.
Making status bar skins are very hard and time consuming. Thumbs up to those people who made a lot of them.

MrNaKo, i love your status bar. i was trying to make one similar to yours but in black and green. I hate to ask you this but if you had time and it wasn't to hard for you, i would like a copy of your status bar but in black instead of the blue you used.
Maybe in time i will get one like your completed.



The graffiti bar is so much easier to make!

Thanks

Hi stretch2k... I didnt understand very well what you want but if you can send me an screenshot of something similar to what you want maybe I can create it. Keep in mind that I still have some conversions pending for UX users that want landscape versions of my SB's and VGs.
