Creating Aim 6.0 Skins: Images and Icons

By WBMike // AIM Skin, AOL, Skinning Aim // No Comments

Aim 6.0 skins handles images a little awkwardly. Hopefully this will be changed in the end, but to be on the safe side we will follow its rules of making and using images. For the most part, your images won’t be over 32×32. So you have to think small and you also have one more thing going against you, Transparent PNGs.

Unless you have a good graphics program you probably won’t be able to create transparent PNGs. You don’t really have to use a transparent PNG but you’ll notice that you might get a white background distracting the title bar’s color of black, blue, orange, etc… If you have the skills to do so, please cut out the image your going to be using an icon. Otherwise, use a font and set that on another layer. When you create the actual PNG, make sure you have alpha layer transparency or use a background color similar to the skin. Please make sure this background color has blended with your icon.
