Skins, Skin Pics Options

[uragon]

I keep seing this beautiful skins but everytime I download its all the stock version of the skin...I search and search and when I do find something and try it out, never comes out right..UIX is a great dash but damm its hard to change this codes...I give all the people who have work on these skins alot of credit for the work put into them..I can only wish mine look half as good as these skins that I see....keep up the good work.......

Ok a little progress. Manage to get a hold of 360 revised skin and followed the intruction on how and where to apply the code. First attempt the "memory.xip/default2.xap" went good but the "main_menue.xip/default.xap " didnt do so good. Nothing was showing visually but sound where there and when I went to the memory menu where HD,APP,GAME,Dashboard menu wollaa the orb with the 360 spinners nice work I said. So I then troubleshooted the main_menu.xip. After looking at it carefully here is what I did wrong

This is what I was supposed to add to main_menu.xip/default.xap.

CODE:

//////////////////////////////// <-------------- these slashes

CODE END

So I tried deleting the slashes at the end...and wolla it worked..

I just thought I would share this information because this well help to to change the orb...all I should have to do is stick new meshes of orbs I like where I had inserted the 2("high_ring.xm and low_ring.xm) main_menu.xip and just rename those meshes with high_ring.xm or/and low_ring.xm well shit thats easy I guess...I think I am ammusing correctly as a noobie at this stuff common sense hey...I mean yeah it would rotate like the 360 orb but hey I can change it and atleast I have figured out what some xips control and also I can take a closer look at the code and just mess with it a little bit to see what it does....Ok I guess Ill get to trying to figure out this code and mess with it a little bit..STILL WOULD LIKE THE DNA TO SHOW THOUGH AND IM ALSO STILL WILLING TO DONATE $$$$ FOR SOME HARD WORK ON SKINS... Thanks for those who have help.......
