I would really like to see some Layered PNG support for those that wish to develop layered PNG based skins!

Primarily because I am a vector artist and I prefer to use Macromedia Fireworks 8!

I think alot of vector based artisits would agrree with this.

How about it?

I assume then that Fireworks can't export to PSD?

It would be possible for me to add support for layered PNG, however it may take a while to code. I will need to find some file format specs for layered PNG and then adapt the skin engine to handle it.

Do layered PNG files support layer sets so that you can group layers?

Yep. In fireworks you can edit multiple objects per layer. How it works is that you can group a series of Vectored paths, or bitmaps in a layer!

The nice thing if you can also read Fireworks data in a png file it could possibly make your work easier. But fireworks PNG files all do support layering . It's definetly something to look into!
