BTW, I don't know where it was, I think I was in a live chat going on during Dayton, but I remember someone suggesting that it might be interesting to create skins that resembled classic radios. Something like Collins , Heathkit or Drake skins. That would be pretty cool I think, if it were possible.
This is going to be much harder to do as you will have to totally reconfigure the PowerSDR console to move the buttons and controls around in order to make it look like a different radio. It will take a bit of C# programming knowledge for starters. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Tondee Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 3:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FlexEdge] Skins - Public Domain, a start Thank you George! This is the type of thing I'm hoping to see happen. It will be great to have a selection of public domain skins to play with. Who knows, I might even try and learn something new and either modify some of the public domain skins or try and create my own. A quick question for you or anyone else who might know... Is there any freebie software out there that would allow me to create or modify skins? Not trying to be cheap but I can't see investing a lot of dollars into a commercial graphics program just to "play". I'd hate to spend the money and then find out I wasn't good enough to create my own skins.
