I thought I'd never figure out the prc-tools/cygwin/pilrc stuff, but I finally got it. Anyhow, for you fans of the 2000 Superbowl Champs here is my first of several sets of logos.
BTW, has anyone figured out how to set up these tools on OSX yet? I'd kill to be able to do this with my Mac natively in OSX instead of through (ugh) Virtual PC.
2. Choose from the styles of the right side, and then select color, style, ans font, but be sure to make your font size 27-30 (depending on size of the font)
3. Create in MSPaint a new image with properties: 160X32 pixels.
4. Wait for your logo to be created...
5. Once your logo is created, copy and paste it to your blank mspaint bmp, trying to make it fit perfectly, (if the program tells you that is too big, and to resize it, click no, and just make it fit yourself.
6. Compile it and Voila!, new cool logo and design with your personalize name
I hope it helps!

glenn, why dont you meet me in the chat room or hit me up in PM and give me some baby steps as to how this whole thing works... i have the kit but thats a far as ive gotten..
.. to include links to the Hack, the Skins Kit, Xmaster and some logos I've created for people on this board.
I also included a modified batch file (to use with Blaire's kit) and step by step instructions.
Along with the offer to make logos for anyone who sends me their logo as a 160 x 38 BMP I will also post already created logos.
If you'd like your logo created or stored in one central site, please send the BMP (to be converted) or the BMP and PRC (already created) to tvstj@yahoo.com
this is a free yahoo account which gets tons of spam so PLEASE make sure to put
Finding this site is one the coolest things ever!!!! You guyz are awsome every question or thought I've had you guyz have already been there......JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS.....
Jake (or anyone) -
When I download the zip file & try to open it, XP tells me the logo hack file doesn't exist. I have no problem with the logo.prc, it opens & syncs. Don't see that anyone else had this problem.......ideas?????
Ok, I must be some kind of idiot. I've downloaded x master, and that works fine. I can change the logos (ie the bmw or the flag) supplied with Jakes kit. But I cannot figure out how to compile my own prc file. I've already editted the skin.rcp file to include my two bmp's but I cannot get the make.bat file to read anything. When I run the batch file it keeps saying
"pilrc skin.rcp Bad command or file name" then next line "build-prc i3sk myskins.prc 'My i300 Skins' i3bm *.bin Bad command or file name"
It looks like the make.bat file is not finding the pilrc and build prc exe's.
I've downloaded cygwin and pilrc 2.9. What do I do next? There is no exe file in the pilrc folder to run from a command line - and there are 24 different folders in the release folder for cygwin.
