The 16-bit skins are generated from templates and backgrounds available for
download as part of the NX/NZ/TH Skin Generator available from the same website
as this.  There you will also find scripts for generating them.  This Skin
Generator counts as the source code for these skins.

  The skins use icons derived from one or more of the following
  sources, and modified by Alexander R. Pruss in July-August, 2004,
  and then with rotated versions generated in February, 2005, with 
  modifications and other material

INSTALLATION

Hotsync the skin to your PDA.  Extended skins (sometimes but not always marked
with an "ext-") require ClieSkinner (available from the same site as you
obtained this) or some other compatible program (none is currently available).
Standard skins should be loadable by any compatible skin loader such as the
free NXSkinnerQuick for OS5 units (handypalmstuff.sf.net).  All statusbar skins
are standard.


There are several kinds of skins, distinguished by their filenames and which
archive they are contained in.

For the UX:
  All skins are graffiti skins.  Some are extended and some are
  standard, as marked by an "ext-" or lack thereof in the filename.

For the NX/NZ/TH/NR:
  There are two basic kinds of graffiti skins: Capitalizer skins mark the upper
  right corner of the numeric area for use with Capitalizer's auto-punctuation
  facilities.  (handypalmstuff.sf.net)  These are marked by a "-Cap" in the
  filename.  Non-capitalizer skins are what most users will want.  Again, some
  skins are extended and some standard, as marked by an "ext-" in the filename.
  All the graffiti skins are in OS5 format.  This means that on the NR, they can
  only be loaded using a utility that converts skins, such as Clie Skinner
  (www.prussfamily.us/skinner.html).

  Statusbar skins are available in NX/NZ/TH flavors and in NR specific flavors.
  All statusbar skins are "standard".


The Geek skins come in several variants.  The A, B and AB versions have
horizontal stripes.  The C, D and CD versions have vertical stripes.
The A and C versions display some code that additionally decorates the
graffiti area.  (Challenge question: What is this code?)  The E version
only applies to the statusbar and it doesn't have any green area behind
the clock.  Basically, you should choose a matching pair.  Matching pairs
are:
  Graffiti A or B - Statusbar AB
  Graffiti C or D - Statusbar CD
  Graffiti A, B, C or D - Statusbar E
Of course you can mix and match however you want.  If it looks ugly,
you're the only looking at it, not I!



TECHNICAL NOTE

The format for extended skins is that if the abmp 0x03e8
Graffiti resource exceeds 65000 bytes, it is split between an abmp 0x03e8
resource and a 2bmp 0x03e8 resource.  The split must happen within the bitmap
area of the 16-bit bitmap (not in a header, and not in a 4-bit area) for the
skin to load correctly via Clie Skinner on an NR model unit.
