One more skin to finish off the Cool Water suite: Cool Water skin for FacerPRO 2.0! Freeware, of course. I built this skin just for fun and to learn more about skinning other applications. Check it out here (http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&PartnerREF=&siteid=1&catid=0&area=software.developer&searchtitle=Applications%20by%20Eungang&searchterm=&step=1&orderby=downloadtotal&direction=asc&userid=1000169615&prodid=94667).

Looks great filber. Have you been able to make a skin with a high rez background?

Thanks. I'm happy you like it. No, I have not figured out how to create the skin with a hi-res background. Facer uniquely uses the backimage as part of the skin itself (similar to Crystal PopUp Suite). I'm guessing there is a 68k restriction on the bmp size, just like CPS, however there should be a workaround by either splitting the backimage into sections, or by allowing the user to select the backimage him/herself (like ZL, ML and others). If there is a way to incorporate a hi-res backimage into the Facer skin, I haven't found it yet. I used HP SkinMaker to create the skin. Perhaps the thememaker Pocket-craft.com sells for the FacerPRO launcher has the ability to use hi-res images, but I don't feel like dishing out any more money for another theme making utility only to find out it wasn't worth it. Seems to me Pocket Craft would be wise to offer the app for free since it is used to promote their product anyhow...

Fiber...Somehow I missed this one. High quality Facer skins seem to be few and far between. Very nice.

The app that Pocketcraft promotes is called Theme Architect. I would not waste my time with it, especially if you have HP SkinMaker. It does not allow you to theme even as much as you have here and uses a background of 160x160. I have sent them emails about updating the product but have had no luck.

I agree with you. Besides being a good product this has alot to do with ZLauncher's sucess. I know I started out using ZLauncher because of the skins available and the easy ability to create my own (Thank you Festus). While Festus has just made it easy to create skins for about anything, I would think that Pocketcraft and Megasoft would want easy to use applications that would allow anybody to modify and create their own skins.
