Will the SDK help me skin?

TVKiwi · 2005-07-22, 05:37

There are several tags in the skin xmls which I have no idea what they do - eg <diffusecolor>.

Where can I go to find out more about the tags and what their functions are. Is there info in the SDK?

Maybe a good way to encourage more skin development would be for someone like Harley to introduce a reference page on his website which provides this sort of info.

Thanks Code Monkey - I already have this useful tool but I think I would be best to also get an undeerstanding of the code itself, so far I am teaching myself using the other skins but I cant help but feel I am missing bits.

Hi,

..yes i think it would be a good thing to make a reference of the tags.

I will see what i can do, for notice on the skinpage.

But skinning would be easyer in the early future with the new stuff of Smirnoff i think :wink:

Greetings Harley
