Hi, I just discovered Xion today and I'm already trying to make skins. lol
I have lots of experience in Photoshop (which is what I'm using) but I have NO experience in making skins for Xion. I read everything I could read....but I still have one question.
How do I make the track info scroll across the skin? I've seen it in so many skins I just don't know how to use that into my own.
Ah, thanks. One more thing...could I have a little help with different interfaces? I tried looking all over this website but haven't found what I'm looking for yet.
Basically...what all is involved in making different interfaces and switching between them?
(sorry for all the annoying questions. that's what noobs do I guess)
Well I havnt done the swich interface yet,but i think its just a second psd inside the zip.(or.xsf once zipped and renamed)The button either is pointed at the other psd,or it just switches between them in order)
A switch layer button would just be a layer in a psd that can be switched to,from a default layer...the button just alternates between them. like... id(switch) modify(layer1,layer2) action_layer_switch ....(I think thats right)
Both of these button types are on the layer reference page of help.

Hi Kuragari,
The Load Interfaces feature is so that you can provide a button that when clicked will load another psd file that you have created. The layer keyword to use is:
You will have to have both psd files either in the Interfaces directory, or both together in the same .zip or .xsf file.
In order to give it the ability to 'switch' between the skins, just change what the button points to for a filename.
So if you have two files called myskin1.psd and myskin2.psd then in myskin1.psd put a button called loadinterface(myskin2) and in myskin2.psd put a button called loadinterface(myskin1)
