xion gets turned up some!!

from WinCustomize Forums

well, its been a intersting journey watching neone6 from his humble beginnings here on wincustomize... i still remember inviting him to chat with me on msn

so i could help him with his first windowblind... (now he helps me lol)

and then he turned his artistic hand to cursor fx... and well the list just grew and grew...

Then he discovered xion, and his passion for creating skins for this kick ass music player has become unstoppable!

His passion of course, has turned into downloads...and thousands of them, neone6 has become the most popular skinner for xion, and he has now

recieved a bronze medal for top 3 skinners for xion.

This is some mean feat and not easily achieved in such a short time!

so lets all give this hardstyler a big kudos, huggles and maybe a cake fight , cause he truly deserves our congratties on this!!

I found many of neone6's skins to be innovative but more and more I don't make the effort to find them. Skinning, for me, is not about being part of a crowd . . so I avoid the crowds.

why dont you make an effort anymore? seems a shame, andy makes kick ass stuff...

me and andy hate crowds too, we live in our own lil bubble and lurve it.

Gone a bit off-topic here.  Sorry for that.  Carry on and keep skinning!  :thumbsup:

The part I like is the unusual approach Andy has. Very high end out of the box. But that's  his style and its a good one IMO.

I have a question to ask and figured that being  this thread is on xion, i could ask it here rather than start another thread.

I have gimp 2.6.12 , and what I want to know is , can I use that to make a xion skin I want to try to make one but not too sure if I can do it  with this program or would I be better off using psp or photoshop  both I have but they are on my main PC and that is not working at the moment so I have to use my emachine again. thanks for any help you can give :thumbsup:

GIMP supports layers and can save as PSP.

All my (old) xion skins were made with GIMP (I seem to recall needing a plugin . . but it's been a LONG time.

A search at http://xion.r2.com.au/community/search.php for GIMP should help you out.

To expand a little on what Zubaz said:

The problem with using GIMP to make Xion is that GIMP will not group layers together in 'layer sets', so you can't make animations work for Xion. At least that's the way it was when I was using it. GIMP is good to go in every other way for skinning Xion.

Like someone who has never had or will have groupies unless you count a bunch of middle aged baby-boomers who hold Macho Man Randy Savage up as a fashion icon.

I read that 2.8 will support layersets . . but have not tested (as it's still alpha).
