In version 8 can you release a new free skin maker that is already mapped for all the extra added stuff in 8 with the ability to click add and drop and then save.. I wouldnt even have a issue paying for it as long as its upgraded as changes are made in the future.

"Skinning" is far too overly complicated, but the current skin designer program does go some way to help with the commands and coordinates of elements and buttons and positions, etc.
but what would help ten fold is if it could incorporate vector style bitmap composition.
to the uninformed, virtualdj loads the skins as a bitmap image with a script file that lists out all the functions..
this bitmap is not easily editable with a bitmap orientated program (like MS Paint or Paint.net) so if the skin designer could handle vector editing this could allow you or select elements in the skin and move, resize, change colour and so on. BUT also if you're working on a button for example it should also pick up the bitmap of the buttons down position, mouse over, and so on..
IF VDJ8 indeed could handle vector based skins, would the skin file be composed of the .xml and a collection of images that the software places on screen or is it still based on one large bitmap but is able to zoom certain parts by commands in the .xml ??
