UBERHOST.NET Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 If you really need a GDK oh so bad then make one. It wouldn't take that long at all.Are you familiar with the level of quality of the 2.0 GDK? James didn't throw it together--it's quite an inspiring document for Photoshop users.

I hope the skin tool on Invisionize gets upgraded quickly to 2.2.x... :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't take that long at all.It would take long.The 2.1 one I made for them took me about two weeks of a few hours a day. ;)It's not as easy as you think to reverse engineer images into layered documents. :Phttp://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...m&album=500I'm not entirely sure why any of you think that a gdk is a necessity, and IPS should give one to you. Sure it's a nice thing to have, but you're only buying their software, not rights to use every damn file they own. :PIf you really need one, make one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the original rating_0 - rating_5 icons would allow you to save with a dark matte for use with dark skins, for example. I have edited all images for the board, blog, gallery, and download manager. It's a huge job that would be much easier with an original PSD file covering the entire range of icons. OTOH, I agree that IPS should not feel compelled to provide any more than the flattened image files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
