Try saving your bmps in paint.Photoshop has problems with bmps although it isnt the same issue try that.
NVM I used fotosizer to convert the bmps to bmps sounds stupid but it worked I will send you your ani

thx my friend, you are great =)

p.s.
my next question is: is there a way to test my skin without a ez-flashcard? (and i don't mean "Ez Skin Forger")

Nope, unfortunately you are stuck hoping it works the way you want it to, like the rest of us.

xD You should have posted this before my skin. All of the images I used were made from scratch (I actually finished it quite a while ago...a little after Env posted his banner, I just never got to posting it).

Change the settings in the splash.ini "WaitforTerminate=1".

I'm currently beta testing Ez Skin Forger RN92. This version fix the 1 pixel bug already reported in this thread.
Here is the current change log :

QUOTE said:
RN92:
- makeskin.exe is no longer used. Fully integrated in ESF code now.
- fixed the 1 pixel bug on touchscreen icons.
- fixed file select bar transparency. Now properly displayed. Refresh window after changed the value in tweak window.
- added Software information in skin's properties
- added drag option to the top screen scroll bar. Drag the bar to have a better view of the SB_BG.png picture.
- fixed scroll_bar.png size to match properly the cheat window scroll bar. 14x136 into 14x144.
- added white (transparency 64) to picture scroll_bar.png and SB_BG.png in default template.

Ez Skin Forger RN90 was built to make easier the use of custom template.
The official default skin KDE4 already use custom template, it's not really a new idea.

@all : i encourage everyone to try custom template now we have a top preview closer to reality.
But please wait for ESF RN92, as cheryl natsu has fixed the 1 pixel bug.

We will probably release it tomorrow, once fully tested.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that we weren't allowed to use all of the customization options when building a theme.

That is why the rules are for the moderators/admins to hand out. Whatever you can do to the skin is fair play, its been there from before so do with it what you will. The main goal of the competition is to get the EZVi some recognition and create more unique skins for the users, it wouldn't be very productive if the skinners didn't try everything at their disposal. In any case, its easier to just not attempt protecting ideas for skins, since that is sort of counterproductive...plus everything looks nicer when it isn't cut/paste, so I don't see much of a problem with full customization.

Kiafa, it's not the fact that you customized your icons that will let you win this contest. It's what you make the icons into. By the way, just a note of honest criticism here. Your customized icons aren't really what judges would consider "creative" or "unique". Try thinking a little bit out of the box

Ez Skin Forger RN92 is released on filetrip.

Here is the change log :

- added makeskin.exe 128 line fix from Carpfish in the tutorial folder. Some Splash animation shouldn't be broken anymore now.

You should consider to compile again your skin guys.

I have seen some skin completly broken because there is no template at all inside. Example 1 and Example 2
Be careful about that. Don't use any old ESF version (in bold text).

edit : Added news entries in my first post.
