Now i understand your image has to be bmp but what i am having trouble with is making mine look like this the only place that image is at is in start menu popup menu then background and in glyph tab. All i am wanting to do is i want the image to be perfectly in center of the left and right placlist like in this picture.
OH thats why i ask cause i got stuck and thanks to everyones help on this.
Oh and Andy neon6 thats one of his skins that i showed at first i tried to help him out wanted him to make me a skin told me the price i said okay it's been 2 month no skin last i heard form him his wife or girlfriend told me that he as been sick and would need 3 more weeks.
Its been a lot more than 3 weeks and no skin so live and learn last time i do that.
still? what do you think when you see this image? didnt it explain you something?
The top part is more uniformed to make a video run smooth the bottom one looks like one of my animation
You don't make a "video" of your animated images (to import to SKS), just start with your 5 normal state images, then add each frame (of change/animation) after that, after you set the start loop image, and the end loop, save, and SKS does the rest.....Simple example, say I want the "start" text on start button to fade in and out, I first create the 5 normal states, then I add the frames for animation to that, in my example I will have a total of 11 images, first 5 normal states, next 6 will be my frames of animation, see example below:
now, I will need to set the animation frame starting point, which in this example will be frame 6, now set the animation frame stopping point, which will be frame 11, next you'll set the looping frame to start with, such as frame 6, then you'll end the loop on frame 11 (these settings you can play around with to get your desired results), next, you'll want to set the rate/speed at to which you want you animation to run at, and that can be done with the settings to the left of the frame settings, now save it, then SKS will do the rest. Granted, it's been a while (Win XP-Win 7) since I've done start button animations, so I may have left some steps out, but the example I've shown you I tested out on my machine (Win 10 OS). Hope this helps, this, as with all your future skins, will be by trial and error, and with any help from others, who will have the time to share their knowledge with you, good luck. 
Oh i think i get it look at this like and tell me if it's right cause this is what i was going by

Couldn't see any images, but the explanation seems correct, you should be fine, if you follow that.
Hmmm, I didn't read it word for word, just glanced at the basic, seemed legit to me, when I did mine, it didn't run backwards, unless it has something to do with your frame start and end, and your start loop, and end loop, can't see why it would run backwards....
you already know you made mistake with your image, the "backwards" is because you didn't make every frame the same size and you need to edit it.
just open ps, open your png, shift the images from the wrong place, so that every frame will have the same size, save, import.
come on, no need to blame the tutorial you followed, forget the tutorial, just focus to fix your image, do something, edit your image.
I made the image at what the told me to thats what i started with i never changed the image size this link is what i followed also image size and all and yes but i can't figure out where i am making the mistake.
LOL sorry all i want to focus on is the start menu animation well come later once i get that start menu looking like someone know what he is doing
so what you all think of this so far almost done with it got that at the bottom to do and to change those 2 buttonsand take out those dividers
