No offense, but these skins are useless until the final build of the new firmware comes out. Since most people would be upgrading to the beta which doesn't support skins.

I found out the new firmware is skinable. You just do the same thing as always drop the skins into the dsystems folder.

I'll definitely be making some skins as soon as I pick up my DS.

Thegame07, I like your skins, but I reckon you could easily do something like that Vincent one you posted.

If I can make a suggestion: I noticed most of yours look very similar in the top and bottom screens. They clash a little. I think it looks better if you make the top screen as something detailed like a character, but keep the bottom screen as some kind of simple pattern or landscape to complement the top.

Like if you're doing a Solid Snake theme just do a close up of his face, or him crouching against a wall for the top, then for the bottom just his camoflauge, an empty hallway, or close up of dog tags.

Not sure.... I suck at photoshop actually. Just thinking out loud.

Edit: That Darth Vader one rules. It'll go well with my black DS.

What are the requirements for making a skin anyway? Just make some bitmaps with the correct dimensions and filenames?

What are the dimensions?

    An underrated opinion: While Bluesky as a platform is better than Twitter, Bluesky's userbase won't be better than Twitter as people are saying because everyone from the non-bootleg site are moving to the bootleg one expecting for themselves to change with their attitude, but that never works like that.
  • DragonMals @ DragonMals:
    I will say though: Bluesky as a micro-blogging site? Needs a bit more oomph and I would officially like it better than Twiter. Can't even post gifs on that site, like what the fuck?
