The full list of pixmaps is listed below, with their filenames and description. The gui pixmaps are in gif format, apart from a few exceptions. in that folder, you need to create four folders "displaypic", "pixmaps", "smileys", "sounds" You need to create a folder for your skin. These require a fair bit of effort and thought. *Emoticons - these are the faces and symbols you can insert into instant messages to liven them up and express emotion. *Sounds - these are for notification events, eg when someone sends you a message, when a contact signs on or off, etc. Now to list the components you can include in a skin: better to have all the pixmaps and no sounds than a few pixmaps and one sound and a few emoticons - otherwise you get a `patchy` feel to the skin. It is a good idea, however, to complete one section, rather than having bits of each section, I.E. You can do as little or as much as you like, because AMSN will just fill any gaps with files from the default skin. You do not have to iclude evry last pixmap, sound and emoticon in your skin. *Metal is probably not a good medium for emoticons, so this theme would most likely not have a different set of emoticons.įirst of all, it is important to make one thing clear. *The colours would probably be greys, although maybe a combination of grey and blue, to make it less dull. Or perhaps noises related to machinery - bleeps, whirrs etc.

*The sounds could be noises you would associate with metal - swooshes like sliding doors, small clangs, clicks. They could have slight blemishes of colour to brighten them up. *Las imágenes serán generalmente grises, pero con un efecto de brillo metálico. Esto se puede hacer solo con las imágenes que uses, que pueden estar basadas en una cosa especifica como una película, o un programa de televisión, o puede hacerse con el `comportamiento` del skin, cambiando las imágenes, los sonidos, los colores y los emoticonos si incluyes alguno.Ī continuación un ejemplo de un skin siguiendo un tema de "metal" Un skin tiene generalmente un tema - un estilo, una idea, que se mantendrá a través del skin- subyacente. En este documento, explicaré como crear skins para AMSN. Un skin de AMSN es un conjunto de imágenes, sonidos y archivos de configuración que combinan para personalizar AMSN. Esto significa que soporta la personalización de su apariencia cambiando las imágenes del interfaz, los sonidos, los colores y los emoticonos. _Gui Colours_ son los colores en los que se muestra el interfaz.ĪMSN sopota skins. _Gui Pixmaps_ son las imágenes usadas en el interfaz, por ejemplo la imagen para el botón de cambiar de fuente.
