UI Skinning

[plus10swordofpimp]

I noticed the last update for the UI Skinning was MOD 7. How do we get the MOD 8 UI Skinning content? Is there a way for us to get the files without having to ask at every mod, or do we have to wait for you guys to release it?

Do you have a lot of experiance with creating new UI Skins?

If so, I was wondering how long it takes to make a complete new UI Skin. What programs do you use?

with creating new UI skins in DDO, no. but i've got a whole lot of experience in other things that would help me out with this.

currently, i'm using adobe photoshop design suite cs4 (for these images -- mostly photoshop cs4), and notepad++ (for editing the xml). understanding the xml is easy, taking that and using it to draw in your mind what the client looks like, not so much. as soon as i get my original question answered, i'm going to start mapping out what image files control certian aspects of the ui ...in hopes of making it easier for everyone.

some things i'm hoping to bring into a beta soon:

- better transparency
- smaller hud

even on my widescreen with a max res i'm still left wanting for screen space for the game.

Have you seen it it's beautiful? But still needs sometweaks, the maker never came back to the boards.

I would be willing to pay for someone to get the thing set for me.
