Hi
I really wanted to do some nice mockups for coverflow ideas for moving pictures, however it seems that the skin engine does not support skewed images. So I had an idea for creating a fake skew. Thought I'd share them just in case someone wants to use them in their skins. If the DVD Cover is small enough you can't notice the errors from normal viewing distances.
Examples are using anchor man because dvd covers with writing down the bottom look the worse. DVD covers without writing actually look a lot better (eg. The Iron Man DVD Cover)
Explanation
With and without glass overlay
This is done without any skew either, the shadows are done using a reflected image and a rotated reflected image
Example useage
Another example useage
