Quote by ikedayawhy don't use the slice backgorund system? It's hard.. And it's easier to upload full image in normal size, so we don't have to crops.. If you understand waht I mean ^^.


Slice Background System? Well I l've left Phosotohop for some time so I don't exactly remember something as that...

anyway using the steps I mentioned (save as webpage), you don't have to crop. Heck, you don't even have to make the slices if you used the pre-made template. Its as simple as create your layout and save as webpage and it will do the slicing for you. :)

f

well I neber encounter it before, but you can however just conver it to JPG after it saves to PNG. a little more troublesome but a working workaround.

f

hide it before go to the saving part.

after clicking Save as Web, just follow step 6 and 7. sorry I didnt provide any image since I have a problem getting a screenshot last time I made it. If I have some time, I'll make a screenshot for explaination.

Gotta be Media Player Classing. simple and lightweight player that plays practically everything.

f

there is no bg1, bg2, bg4, and bg5?

check your slices. see if there is complete 7 slices.

I don't exactly get what you mean.. did you use the template? coz with the template all you have to do put the image on the template and follow the saving part and you're done.

f

ermm.. there's only 1 file. plus its not that much difference. the current is only 3.67mb. not that big.

uploading wise, I believe its the same,

Quote by starrliteangeloh yay! the new files have the navigation ^-^ Oh, btw, exentric, have you found a solution to that repeating slice 3? Because i got it to work on my userpage after I did a little adjusting...unfortunately, when my computer crashed, the base .psd file got deleted >.< But if I make another one, would you be interested in it?


yeah sure. I would love to. just emailed it to flames_zerox@hotmail.com ^_^

Quote by MissyGI don't know if it's only me, but I can't download a single file D: if I press a link that says http (or whatever ^_^') it only directs me to google search. o.o


yeah its just you. I have no problem downloading from one of the link even though I'm behind the university's proxy.

f

CorelDraw eh... I never used CorelDraw so I can't say.. but one thing I know for sure is the .psd cannot be opened in CorelDraw.

For the file, try the other Mirror. I updated with a few more mirrors.


Btw, I think you can use CorelDraw. However all the slices (sizes for each image), you have to do it yourself.

f

your background HAS been updated. just remember to clear your cache before refreshing (Ctrl + F5)

Quote by ware4meI'm struggling with this... so, i donwloaded that PSD file... i thought slices might be already drawn... or at least marked but i only see a part of them... where are the other ones supposed to go? specially those with a width of 3 pixels? Oo

Thanks ^^


the slices are there. the 3px slices are probably just to small for you to see. Try zoom in and check it yourself.

Quote by prettikitti180Um how do I download a skin template I'm kinda slow really but not that slow I hope.

Quote by meguri-chanhelo,
can you tell me how to create a skin?


stupidest question I ever saw.
read the tutorial for god's sake...

f

you sure you copied all of them? including the <style></style> tag? coz I know it works for me.

<style>
html, body {
width: 100%;
font: 8pt Tahoma;
}
</style>

f

Quote by cagalli-y-aI don't know if this has been asked already but how do you change the font style? I've seen it on other userpages. :\


that can only made by using styles

<style>
html, body {
width: 100%;
font: 8pt Tahoma;
}
</style>


Paste that on your userpage contents. However this only works on YOUR userpage. It will not work elsewhere.

f

Quote by ssvegetajexcentric, do you get images to customize with the file or do you have to draw them(i want to know before i upload the file^_^'.


you have to make the images yourself. I only provide the base for it. :)

Quote by midsummererm... is it possible for you to upload the files in another filesharer?

Quote by Iloveluckythis is just too complicated for me, i am trying to put on a backround for my userpage but it wont load


its actually very easy. really no joke.

what actually is your problem? made the slices, upload it and it wont appear?

Quote by migu04My skin doesn't seem to work properly on every page.
All slices line up properly in this image.
The support page is completely off.
The control panel is slightly off.
How do I fix this? x.X


not that it doesnt work properly on every page, that is how it SUPPOSE to work. MT's layout customization is no perftect. slice 7 (right most content slice) only repeats itself on the right most box part. it doesnt start on the content box. and I see you didnt make any repeating images for slice 6. (left most, bottom)

http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/6540/minitokyoskin4is.jpg
no repeat downward on the content part. MT was designed without them in the 1st place. why? there was no need for them. MT's layout never use a transparent box in the 1st place.

http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/8603/minitokyoskinmessed2ja.jpg
it looks shorter because that is the lowest part of tha page. See it stops after the "0.0452sec. (43% PHP, 57% SQL) 9 queries"?. Since it already reaches the lowest page of the page, the slice stops showing.

pretty much the same as I have mentioned earlier.


In conclusion, there is nothing wrong with your layout. That is how it suppose to work. My suggestion, you need to think more carefully in your design. There is a limit to what kind of design one can make in MT. You must build around those limits to make a nice layout. If you don't, well, it becomes as it is now. And another thing, MT's layout was not designed with a transparent box. So if you still want to use them, you will have to work a lot more to make them look nice.

check back step 6. when saving it for web, select all slice (Ctrl+A) and set the preset under the save button to Jpeg Medium.

you missing this step means you didnt follow the tutorial properly. check the tutorial back, every last one of them if you have any problem.
