Newbie: How to make Skins?

[scottkane]

Hi guys, its been a long time since I have created Nebula skins
and I need some help, I don't remember how to open the skin files etc.
Is there a helpful link?
Thinking to make any some time soon.

Thanks!!!

I guess I need NAT, where can I find it? Some help would be appreciated!

hi scott, try to contact the user "jpn"
he made a lot of skins lately and sure has some tips for you.

nat comes with the 32bit installer of nebula for windows.
it gets installed into nebulatemprepository.

if you don't want to mess up your current nebula installation, install with the win32bit installer into another directory.

Thank you very much Mathias!!!

Nice to see you here again, still using some of your skins here. If you're going to make more, please do them with sliders

Hi, hehe yeah I figured that the knobs aren't so helpful cause the movements of mouse is not linear... can you change this?

[mathias]

yes it is changeable. i thought it is linear by default now ...

there is a tag in the nebula xml file, forgot the exact name.
something like "knobbehaviour" or so. when i recall correctly, then setting to "2" means linear.

default

<KNOBCONTROL> 2 </KNOBCONTROL>

Hi, anyone can help? I want to position the control labels and when I increase the <DISPLAYADDCHARS> it shows some weird random numbers. Take a look at attachment.
Anyone can help? @jpn ?
