How to make your own skin

The skins are built using a product called ActiveSkin You will need to download this product to create your own skin, or supply me the bitmap images and I can build the skin. If you do plan on making a skin, model the default skin ( default.skn ), making sure all the field names are the same. You can omit any field name you wish to include only the features you want in your skin. The number of slots available for displaying locations ( textx_colx fields ) is only limited to how many you wish to place in your skin and your screen resolution. Large skins with lots of data consume more processor usage.

If you can supply a decent skin ( as defined by us ) which we will put on our skin update site, you will receive a free registration for WorldTime2003.

Field name definitions are as follows:
