Tim, didn't I read a comment by you a few years ago that said you made your skins WITHOUT skin studio? Don' know if that is still the case but it was damn impressive at any point.

Your stuff has always been top notch SOLID performance, crisp and clean graphics and the classiest looking around. Don't ever give up your status as king of the masters (IMO) because of a foul mouthed brainfart like that.

Heck, I think I own every one of your (Essorant's) skins besides this one. I'm going to go purchase it just because of this poster.

Man, if you charged an hourly rate for using your skins, you could have been fairly well-off from me.

There once was a time when there WAS no SkinStudio [or Builderblinds]....when men were men and sheep were nervous....er....when skinning was trial/error and editing code in notepad ....

Ewe cant mean it..

Yes - I still make my skins without SKS - although I do use it to check new stuff, check my layers and build animations, and I regularly compare my skins with others just to see what I might be missing out. I would recommend that all new skinners use SKS though - it's really a great tool.

  that's pretty awesome, good for you, but why?

Methinks once I get docks down pat I just might give it a go.

Ohhhh ... woe is me.

If you started out doing skins/whatever one way....and were used to it then the methodology isn't that 'hard'.  It's second nature to just continue as you always had.

Skinstudio is a tool....a very GOOD tool....but it's not 'the only way'...
