Thanks Pauly-
Well.. no template.. I have some tricks I use, but nothing real special. Once I have the screens all put together, I copy an old skin and all the bmps to a new folder and open all the old files into photoshop. Once I have all of them open I copy and line up an old skin over my new skin in PSD format, bring an old button over, line it up with the old skin (where it belongs), I edit my new skin how I want it (depending on the button it will become), merge the new skin into one layer, select around the old button, invert the selection, hide the old button and skin, and then select my new merged skin, "copy" and paste to the old button bmp. Then I can just save that bmp and it is already named correctly. It is tedious and time consuming but it is the best solution I have found so far.

Is this more than you wanted to know?
