Where can I find some Rainlendar2 skins?

Specifically, I am looking for a clear skin that is compatable with Rainlendar2 (.r2skin).





I've found this to be quite difficult.





If there are no sites, how does one convert old Rainlendar skins to the new format?





Any help would be much appreciated.

Rainlendar! --- I doubt that most of the schmucks around here even know what that is, dude!





Anyway, I was going to suggest the sites like DeviantART, customize.org and skinbase.org but you said you've found it rather difficult so maybe you've already searched those sites.





I haven't used Rainlendar in awhile (I switched to Desktop Sidebar and then Samurize on my Win XP system) but in the old version I used the skins weren't in any format at all, just had the seperate images for the parts and an .ini file.





If this is still the case for the older version skins you're finding then consider this out of their FAQs:





"How can I create new skins?





The skin documentation and tutorials are not ready yet so probably the easiest way is to take the Shadow4 skin that comes with Rainlendar and start modifying that.


Rainlendar2 skins (.r2skin) are just normal zip archives with different file extensions. The archive contains few xml files and the resources (images, scripts, ...). The skin.xml file must be in the root of the archive so make sure that when you are zipping the archive after modifications that it doesn't contain any extra folders.


During skin development you can also just unzip the archive into Rainlendar's skins-folder. This way you don't have to zip it again after each change."





So it sounds like to me that all they're doing is zipping up the skin as a regular .zip archive and then just *changing the file extension to .r2skin*.





So all you might have to do is take their base skin, change the file extension to .zip to open it. Then replace the parts with the parts out of the skin you want. You may have to open the .xml file and change some dimensions or whatever to match the parts you put in.





Then use 7-zip to zip it back up (you have to select all the files/folders within the main folder and "Add to archive" to get the .xml in the root of the archive as mentioned --- you'll figure that out). And then rename it from .zip to .r2skin. http://www.7-zip.org/





It probably has a configuration tool that you could use to make any final adjustments.





As long as you don't redistribute the skin as your own work no one probably would have a problem with you doing that.





--- sounds like a lot of work? maybe, but think about the satisfaction you'd feel! lol ! I actually made my own from scratch once using an older version, see: http://www.one-tweak-loop.com/misc_files...


(don't laugh, it was a couple of years ago!)
