I would like to make my own xion skin but i want it to be very cool with animations and 3D. I find one very cool optimus prime head psd and i would like to use that.It is possible to use a premade psd? If it can be done can someone guide me to the process? Thanks very much.

Yes, a .psd will work.Just rename the layers to correspond to your button actions.For instance you might name an eye next and the other eye previous.Find areas that look like logical buttons, rename them as needed for Xion functions.Name a layer moveable, add a track layer.

If you want the easiest way for all the over states for the buttons to start with, just make a copy of each button, play for instance, leave the copy right on top of the play button, it can now be named play_over.

Merge some layers down if there are more than you need for buttons, etc.Try some stuff, lots of people here to answer and help, have fun.

The best thing to do is open a simple skin you like by renaming it from .xsf to .zip, you can then extract it and look at its structure.On the help page is the layer reference chart, which shows the tags/keywords for all the layers/functions.Have fun. :)
