+This document descibes how to make opieplayer2 skins.
+
+First decide on a name for your skin, and make a directory in the opieplayer2 skins
+directory.
+
+mkdir $OPIEDIR/pics/opieplayer2/skins/someCoolSkin
+
+In this example, the name of your skin will be someCoolSkin,
+and will appear in the View menu of the player.
+
+You can copy the files from the default skin to look at and use.
+
+The skins work off of an indexed mode black image mask to position where the button
+should be. The skin_up and skin_down images show how all the buttons
+are to be drawn when pressed and released.
+
+**** All _mask_ files need to be indexed mode png images with an alpha background ****
+
+You will need _all_ these files:
+
+
+background.png general background pixmap (rgb)
+skin_down.png audio button skin for when buttona are pressed (rgb)
+skin_mask_back.png audio scan back through file button mask (indexed)
+skin_mask_down.png audio volume lower button mask (indexed)
+skin_mask_forward.png audio scan forward through file button mask (indexed)
+skin_mask_loop.png audio loop mode button mask (indexed)
+skin_mask_next.png audio go to next in playlist button mask (indexed)d
+skin_mask_playlist.png audio stop audio and show playlist button mask (indexed)
+skin_mask_play.png audio play button mask (indexed)
+skin_mask_prev.png audio go to previous file in playlist button mask (indexed)
+skin_mask_stop.png audio stop button mask (indexed)
+skin_mask_up.png audio volume louder button mask (indexed)
+skin_up.png audio button skin for when buttons are released (indexed)
+skinV_down.png video button skin for when buttons are pressed (rgb)
+skinV_mask_back.png video move forward through playlist button mask (indexed)
+skinV_mask_down.png video volume lower button mask (indexed)
+skinV_mask_full.png video change to full screen mode button mask (indexed)
+skinV_mask_fwd.png video move forward through playlist button mask (indexed)
+skinV_mask_play.png video play button mask (indexed)
+skinV_mask_stop.png video stop button mask (indexed)
+skinV_mask_up.png video volume louder button mask (indexed)
+skinV_up.png video button skin for when buttons are released (rgb)
+
+
+You can position the buttons anywhere using the button mask. The skin_up and skin_down images
+should correspond to the mask positions, otherwise they wont work.
+Video skins do not have much choice in button location.
