EZ5i skinning competition

Hey, I see a problem in lots of new skins.
"Game Name" can take up to 3 lines, so you should have enough space in your skin to fit it all.

I was about to say that.

Does the kernel crop the lines to match the size set in the .ini?

But on the video Menu Walktrough it only shows 2 lines? The game name and the publisher

@env: I will find you a game that is displayed in 3 lines.

@jurassicplayer : which ini file are you talking about ?

Finished mine. I based my skin on a concept wallpaper I made a few months back. I also have an Acekard version of the skin (not 100% yet) if anyone wants it.

Skin Name: Ambience

Oh, and if someone could test this out, that would be great (I don't have an EZ5i, well, yet). I'm not 100% sure if the ani saved correctly. First I made it a gif and converted from there. I may update this sometime later.

Edit: Here's the wallpaper link if anyone wants it: http://link2999.deviantart.com/art/Ambience-121985817

I want to replace the icons, but I'm not sure what those icons do.
Could somebody explain what each icon does, so I can make a fitting icon for that?

And probably add it to the FAQ too

And I'm also not really sure what files I need for a complete skin :/
I got a splash.ani
And I got a skinname.dat (No, I haven't named my skin yet)
Am I missing something?
Making a theme is way more confusing than I thought o.O

It's based on Creativity, not Photoshop.

I updated and uploaded my splash.ani and skin at Filetrip now: http://filetrip.net/f12226-Thanks-skin-entry-1-0.html
I only changed the splash.ani,btw.
EDIT: Tried it myself,but the Splash animation only shows the first frame and screen in this gif I made: http://www.iaza.com/work/100716C/Splash_00...915756-iaza.gif
And I didn't convert a gif to ani.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi EZ-Megaman and thanks for your entry. BTW, you have several errors in this skin.
First of all, splash screens files are wrongly named. Should be Thanks_bottom.bin and Thanks_up.bin.
Your splash animation is also wrongly named. Should be Thanks.ani.

And last, about your splash animation, please upload your sources BMPs so i can see what's is your problem.

I will add that to my FAQ.
BTW, about files required, please re-read carefully the first post. It's written in bold.
Also, take a look at all my tutorials on ezflash usa forum, skin section.
All links are also available in the first post.

Thanks for your entry. Please rename the file abstract.bottom.bin into abstract_bottom.bin or the skin will not work properly.

 

[jurassicplayer]

@jurassicplayer : which ini file are you talking about ?

The EZSkin.ini has the height and width of the game name size and I was just thinking that maybe if the size is too small to fit three lines, its just cropped at the height and width in the EZSkin.ini (probably not hard to fix the images anyways I think)

After the problem,I followed your tutorial on EZ Flash forum for the Splash Animation,put in 11 question marks on the ini and it only says a few images have been compiled.
