I am quite talented with photoshop cs3 and making the images is no big deal but is there any tutorials that will help me understand how to make the code part of the template. I am hoping to fins a tutorial that will help me make a skin from scratch. Does anyone know if a tutorial like this exists, if not would someone be willing to make a tutorial or help me learn 1 on 1 via msn live messenger. If you are willing to do it via msn add me:

If I were you I would find a free template that I like and tear it down into piece to learn how its works. I doubt you will find a precise guide as to how to accomplish something that will please you. The steps and code are different for everyone based on how they want things to appear. Its just to big of a question for anyone to answer properly.

Most people on here learn from others work. I know I try not to reinvent the wheel but make it smoother or add tread to it.

I can tell you this that it surely doesnt involve writing XML documents.
Just setup a test skin. start editing, moulding, innovating.. once done just export the XML and thats ur skin.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
