Hello good guys

ok straight to the problem, i am having a problem geting the graphics to be smooth and transperent in skinstudio, in photoshop, when i prepare graphics for my skin, if i create a round peice of graphic antialiased, the magic pink (255, 0 , 255) keeps sticking to corners in skinstudio when i apply them. ok now if they are not antialiased and if i sharpen their edges, they look very jagged and ugly when applied to skin (WB), and not smooth as i want them like ones out there in gellery.

you guys would be kind enough to solve my problem...........thx. (forgive my english if it is too bad as it is not my first language

You might have received an answer sooner if you had used a descriptive thread title....

You can't anti-alias against magic pink. It will always look jagged. For most bits in the skin you can use TGA, or save as PNG, and import into SkS. Some images, such as the frame, can't use TGA, but most can.

The question I have is this. I loaded and was using the MAKO skin. Very good work by the way. The first download was the MAKO file of 824,743. I later noticed there was an update so I downloaded the MAKO file at 854,844 bytes. So far everything worked fine. But I did not immediatly see any difference so using Windowblinds 4.5 I deleted the skin, also deleted the directory C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds\mako. And now to the problem. I cannot install the MAKO skin. What have I done wrong. Help

Sounds like you did delete properly, using both IE and FireFox, Mako downloads as a WB file for me, it should
self install, if it won't try renaming to .zip, extract files, move folder to Windowblinds.
