(request) blankxml file

NoPodi
hi everyone,

i wondered if there is a blank skin xml file with all the options you can do with it?

cheers nopodi

or does the xml in the sample skin from the "Create your own skins" post include all options there can be?

Edit: i just saw that there are not all available options represented in the example xml.

All you have to do is download a skin (I'd suggest getting one that has font options) and use that xml and change it to fit your needs. It basically gives you all the options, but some things you won't know are options until you know the xml better, ie. most people use the same pressed.9.png for both normal keys and mod keys, whereas in many of my skins I make a new file called pressedmod.9.png and that makes the pressed mod key look different from the pressed normal keys. You basically have control over the font color of the normal keys, typed word, suggested word, all other words, the font on the keyboard, which image to put where for keys and keypresses, the keyboard background (whether a solid color, gradient, or an image), the image for the suggestion bar and its dividers, and the images you want displayed on the mod keys. Hope that helps you.
