OK, I have a question for the BatEx professionals here that create all these great skins. I've decided this morn to create my own batt ex skin, i found my 64x64 png image. BUT i could not resize it to 22x22. So for the files in the zip that are labeled "_000i" and so on, i found a 22x22 png image to use. Because it doesn't match my 64x64, it obviously looks different in my notification area, compared to the skin showing on my homescreen slot. Its 'working' as it should, but i'd like to have it 'perfect'.

SO my question is, what program do any of you use to resize a .png file? I'm on windows7 and not familiar with this because i've never done it before.

Any help or info that any of you can offer me would be greatly appreciated. I'm not exactly the most "techiest" (if thats even a word), but i can figure things out.

thanks to anyone who can offer some guidance

Pink,
Couldn't you resize things in paint.net?
It's a free application that you can download for your windows machine. I use it with Vista, I'm not sure about Win7...

Pink, like JayDee, I also use Paintnet......any image can be resize to anything and is always better to start with a large image rather than a small one. Whenever I have had problems or wanted to learn "how-to" guess what, always go to the Universal Univeristy online AKA Youtube and type in and see how many have posted answers to my questions.....
you can make a complete set with one lonely jpeg, gif or whatever extension you find just as long as you save in png...you can add or alter, expand and thin out and make that single image look different.

lmao! I just did one yesterday and i'm sure i'll still have more to learn (with the resizing, converting to png, etc. it all 'seems' so easy, lets hope its that simple)
But i'm hoping to be able to make some and share here with everyone, which would make me happy to do

Have you tried Gimp? It's a free download that is similar to Photoshop. It makes resizing, recoloring, converting file extensions, and image editing really easy. I use it to make the Berryweather icon sets. I'm a big fan of that program.

Thanks for this info BA, I have 'heard' the name GIMP being mentioned by yourself and Songbird. Do i know anything about it? No. LOL I did dwld Paint.net this morn and used it briefly to edit a skin i did for myself and the program 'seems' easy enough to use. BUT I will def keep GIMP in mind and google it to see whats its like as well (i've never used PhotoShop either) Thank you for the suggestion to help, it is much appreciated as well!

Learning this has just opened a new door for me with the BatEx skins, so lets see what kind of trouble i can cause when i have the time to play around with it! LOL

Hint: On the notification Icons. you can actually make them 32X32. It makes the icon a little bigger and as long as the file is named correctly the image will appear perfectly fine w/o cropping.

I also so use paint.net and love it!

TY mkye for the info as well, it is much appreciated

So if I understand you correctly, the files I've name "_000i" for example, I made 22x22, that I can actually make them 32x32 so they are a little more noticeable?

Being that Memorial Day is coming up, I felt it appropriate to do some red, white and blue, hence my bouquet of roses. i hope you will all enjoy it.

charging/discharging images are the same.

also, i hope the drop box link works properly-its my first time using it
