@viz
Looking great! However, I'd recommend moving the up/down arrow keys somewhere to the right, like in the default EZV skin - http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/9327/95462573.jpg.

Btw, why don't I see "launch" button in everyone's works?

You can press A and it'll still launch. It's just a nice touch for those who like to use a stylus.

@all : keep in mind that creativity is the leitmotif of this contest, so don't hesitate to change everything available in Ez Skin forger. System icons for example. wink.gif
A tips : http://www.iconfinder.com/

And like told in Tips, you can drag an drop everything on touch screen.

Last, transparency (alpha channel) is a very interesting feature in PNG pictures that will help you to create amazing skin, so don't hesitate to use it !
See those example :


Left to right : touch screen, Popup panel and setting panel previews

Also you can interact with the background like it's done on this demo skin (only a demo to show you guys, be careful of copyrighted pictures). When you click on right robot it correspond to arrow down and the other bot arrow up.
When you click on the sun, it's light control.
See ? There is almost no limit do your creativity, so go on guys and be creative !!! grog.gif

o.0 I think I'm screwed xD. My skin is probably going to get owned (I'm still going to submit it though, after I finish of course).
Just something I'm hoping an EZ5 owner can do in their spare time (if they so wish to help the skinners in the competition), you would have my utmost respect and gratitude if you would be so kind as to give a complete video of every possible screen and icon that can appear (so there would be a demonstration of the progress bars and whatever else that most of the reviews I have seen don't show) preferably with crystal clear quality and a default skin, though just decent quality is fine.

Anyways, good luck to the rest of the skinners. Although I currently detest everyone in the spirit of attempting to win and will try my best to beat the lot of you, I'm hoping to see some wicked-ass skins so don't disappoint xD (we can be friends afterwards...unless I don't win, jk.)

Well, it's not required because we can press A to launch a game or enter a folder.
BTW, when i doesn't use the launch button icon in my skins, i do a trick so we can start the game by touching the game's icon.

I enabled Launch icon check box, change manually coordinate to match game icon one and enter the same size than the game icon (32x32).
Done ! tongue.gif

BTW, it's an incomplete skin (missing splash screens and splash animation). Please pay attention at the first and second post.

Also, your skin name exceed 8 char !

Please fix that if you wish your entry get validated. wink.gif

EZVi Clear

Screens:

Warning! Spoiler inside. 


I have an extra DS lite board, so I took a pic and made a skin...

Hi Buckeye and thanks for your entry but a file is missing : clear_up.bin
Even if you made a splash .ani that use the top screen, you must provide the upper splash picture.
If someone wish to not display the animation and delete it there will be no upper screen background and the ezflash default will be displayed. wink.gif

@TLOZ

Just tested your skin on my EZVi - it looks great!
The only things that'd be good to be fixed IMHO are arrows (they're pretty small and too simple) and the "Launch" button.

Nope, only one entry per user.
