Looks great Simon : ) Got a question for you. Do you use Gimp or Photoshop+Wine to create the themes.

[SiMoNsAyS]

thanks everybody

@harunaksoy, basically i use PS7+wine for anything harder than drawing a line

i only use the gimp for easy peasy things such as creating thumbnails, resizing...

offtopic: i know, i know, people say the gimp can do most of the things photoshop do, but the plain interface and the fact i'm a former PS user since 5.0 make me think this last is the best way to go

Well I'm doing the same as well. I hate the interface of the Gimp, but it is, like you said, usefull for doing easy things. Unfortunately Photoshop + Wine doesn't work that great.

PS7+wine works almost as good as natively
