    Just do a search for MSI logo on google images search (set it to higher than 2MP size).

    http://images.google.com/images?hl=...=2&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g3#start=0&imgtbs=z&imgsz=2mp

    I've found two 2400x1440 logos, one blue and one black and just used those. For the Afterburner, I don't know what font they used but I just changed it to whatever design I used.

    I'm still not ready to post mine, having a little trouble with some buttons, Its pressing down and the alternate pressed image only shows for the AUTO fan button but not for everything else. EDIT: fixed this one.

    Also, I have an ATI card so the shader(?) slider is disabled and I can't test the linked sliders. Also the voltage cannot be set so that slider is also greyed out, so I might have to find somebody to test it out for me later.

    Ok well apart from the close(x) button being a bit out of line due to it hittin the purple outline its perfect asfar as i can tell.

    Oyeah the box with the core close is a bit off also.

    I cant test since I'm at work, but you mean like the key color lines that bleed?

    Did you make a matching alpha version of the slider button?


    ---------------------------------------------

    Almost done with my first entry. Indicators are giving me problems, just that and a few button (auto button and dettach button need work), font adjustments, and light and color adjustments left.

    Really nice skin, man! But how did you managed to get that (e.g)afterburner writing "outside" without getting a thin purple outline?

    Thanks.

    Cleaning the edges was the part that took longer. lol. I had to clean it pixel by pixel, and added a layer in photoshop just for clean masking. If you look closer you can see there are still problems (some layer bleeding inside but no more magentas outside) because I merged the layers before I could clean it fully, now I have to go back and clean the insides manually again.

    lol, a lot of hard work, but it came out very well. btw, in Illustrator this prob doesn't exist, because with illustrator you can create "true" vector images, not like in photoshop, without cleaning the edges, but I dunno how to work with it. just a little...

    Finally got it finished.

    Here is my first entry..

    I did 2 versions because I cannot decide which one is better. The only difference between the two of them is how the monitor panel attaches and detaches.

    Hope you like them.

    Ps. I forgot to add. When you eventually get your hands the USF File, I added a button so when you hover over the Header, the eyes, the teeth, or the logo, all of them highlight together and give a sort of pop out intensity effect.

    kk finally done and tested as much as I could.

    I couldn't test the link button to see if it shows up on the right slot as well as the shader slider value and the voltage slider value, maybe somebody with an nvidia card/unlocked voltage could test for me, thank you in advance.

    I don't even know what to call this first skin entry:

    EDIT: new fixed voltage text version (thanks to Kylzer)
    http://rapidshare.com/files/313340183/skin1_fixed.usf

    I finally worked out all the problems with the indicators, and production of more skin entries shouldn't take more time now than I did this first one.
