First thing you want to do young DC is get the entire S2U2 gfx folder onto your computer. This will show you in a visual way what each part of the application's images functions are. Most people learn this way. once you learn the files and what their functions are, it will be easier for you to learn wht to do whit your Dad's Art. For instance Start with the Battery files. The File extensions are .png (transparant background). The Battery parts for a basic S2U2 theme are Batteryg.png, Battery1.png, Battery2.png, and Battery3.png. Once you have all of the S2U2 gfx folder files on your Computer, you can now see what the files look like, the file exstentions, and most importantly what they look like in the theme it self. Learning the parts of the S2U2 is very crucial to cutomizing the Theme. Lets say you customized your own battery. To implement your design, you would simply have to replace the original or current Battery files with your own. When you install your custom battery.png files, you will get an error message asking if you want to overite the file because a file with that name already exist. If you don't care about setting the S2U2 Theme back to stock just simply click overwrite. If you might decide to go back to the stock Theme, then you will need to rename the originasl or stock files prior to installing your own customized battery.png files. I always back my original files up by renaming them battery.pngo etc. (o for original). After you have installed new files in the S2U2 gfx folder, you always have to go to Start/Programs/S2u2/Settings and click ilock2. You must do this each time you install new files in the gfx folder or the theme will not launch properly. to customize the Clck is simular, except the files for the clock are located in the S2U2/gfx/Clock folder. I hope this will at least get you started. Any help you need just post here and we all will be glad to help you especially because of who your Dad is. Good luck Young DC.
