The "SixPack" One skin with 6 Designs.....The AdVisior Tutorial skins have now become Advisor Themepacks
They can be found on the Wiki
http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Skin/BaseSkin
Now everyone with some graphical skills can make a skin.
To make it possible for translated texts to fit in button, I have been working on a skin with "common" sub menus, with different skin "Themes". Everything is very flexible and easy to skin. I have a "included" guide on how to use skin files and graphics.
Even my 11 year old daughter made a "Pink Paris Hilton" skin in 20 minutes with the ImageEditor tool.
The objective is to make it as simple as possible for "Graphical Designers" to make new skin designs.
Just change a couple of images and you have a new design.
Run a batch file and you got a new look and feel of GBPVR.
