How do i make a bebo skin?

you need a graphics software package. paint shop pro is one, Adobe Photoshop, Fireworks MX, i use photostudio 5.5 to make them, once you have the software and the pictures you want to have on your bebo skin, you'll find out the skin specification on the bebo website, when you click on change skins on your profile, click on roll your own (or become a featured bebo skin artist or whatever it says)above the now available skins. on that page click on read our detailed specification (under "sounds like a lark, how do I get started?".)





then the fun begins





in your software package you have to resize (under edit - image size)all the images you collected for your skin according to the Dimensions which are stated there on bebo's skin specifcation page (width x height pixels) and you have to save the picture under the required file name stated there aswell, any other name and it won't upload it. there is 7 files needed which you will see on the page. after doing all that, you go back onto the skin specification page and click on add a new skin, you name it, tag it, and start uploading your files. the first time I did it, it said the files were too big despite the fact I used the demensions they gave me.





I only figured out last week that I could actually make them, the software package I have I think is probably the more basic one that other bebo skin makers use. one of the pictures does be spread out thus making it look very blurry and unseeable, just remember that when you are picking your images/pictures for your skin,will it look ok if it's stretched out alot.
