from WinCustomize Forums
I just found the free version of Onh=jectBar on C|Net the other day, and in the spirit of a true geek, I immediately started skinning. At least, I thought I was skinning. I took one look at the stuff by Pixtudio and Tiggz and went "oh &^%$..." I need to know exactly what program some of the people out there who make amazingly cool skins use.

Also, if you happen to know off the top of your head, what program is best for making wallpapers? Thanx.

Thanx a lot. I already have Paintshop Pro, but I'll stilling figuring out how to get it to really do what it can... However, these answers bring about a few new questions: a)Is there anywhere I can get a free trial copyor maybe not so trial, I really don't careof Bryce? I tried 3D Studio, but I'm runnin 98 and it wouldn't work.

If you could get back to me, I'd be much obliged.

have fun with gimp

I learned how to use photoshop decently over several years, and I still haven't completed my transformation to gimp. I use linux most of the time, and I use gimp in that. I like consistancy so I use gimp in windows. It is a great program but very very hard to learn if you are used to photoshop things like layerstyles. But if you can figure out gimp there is not much you can't do in gimp that you can do in photoshop. I have seen some very impressive gimpings.
