You might also have to edit the DRM and change the icon files to flash the new "skin" directly to the phone instead of mapping the icons via the mma-ucp file. The flashing method uses less space on the phone.

Start editing the icons . . . its normal picture editing using softwares like photoshop, gimp, corel, etc !

To make mma_ucp files, take a mma_ucp from any skin pack from the downloads section and edit it acc. to ur icon names using p2k menu editor or mma advanced editor !

guide (http://modmymoto.com/wiki/index.php/Slvr_L6_Make_Color_Schemes_With_P2k_Menu_Editor) to use p2k menu editor !

search the guides/suggestions thread for a guide on mma advanced editor !

Personally I recommend CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 or later. It can edit animated gif very easy, this cannot be done with Adobe Photoshop. Corel is much easier to use than photoshop as well. Makes no sense learning to use photoshop when Corel can do the same jobs plus more and easier to use.

You will also need programs like drmport or 3g-drm to extract all the gif from the DRM code group. Then you can start editing it. Important note is you make dam sure that when you recompile the DRM it is not bigger than the max size of the Code Group. You can find out this max size from Random F&B program.

Basically what I am saying is that when you edit of change the .gif files just make sure they are about the same size as the original files to avoid complications when flashing. Also most important is that ALL .gif files need atleast 2 frames minimum, and I cannot stress this point more. If you simply convert a jpg to a gif which is only 1 frame it will stick the home keys menu on the phone.

@ Motopilot, imageready comes with photoshop, which is as easy as applying butter on the Toast. :D LOL, And its way good then Corel draw for graphics stuff...;)
