no bootskins.....again


Bash, there is more to skinning than just bootskins. You should try and learn to skin other applications that way you can participate on these type of contest. CursorXP is a nice and very easy application to skin. You should give it a try.

Ohh. i hope my work would be finished in time.

Hey Bash, you could venture into LogonStudio skinning. It's a little more advance that bootskinning. although not as complicated as WB or DX or IP but you could start venturing into it. I would be happy to assist you.
