This is the skin I made:

I hope you like it. If you don't, I'll try to make a better one.

wow it's good but ive got some details which would improve the quality of the skin:

1. it would look really better if you would delete the white background from the images (the cracow seal and the medal) - i know thats quite hard and it absorbs a bit of precious time :p 9at least with my skills it would do :))

2. the flag should be used in the topbar only (sorry that i havent mentioned about if before :|) but the double using of the same flag looks quite strange

3. you havent used all of pictures posted by me :p hope that i'll see the picture of young Nietzsche in the sidebar or instead of the flag

to assume everything your work is very good but as always it could be improved :D hope that my suggestions will help you in your later work as a graphic :p

Thanks for the tips:

1. I'll try to delete those white backgrounds
2. I'll delete the flag
3. I haven't used all of your pictures, because then the map in the background would not be visible anymore

I'll also change the background, because I think the red-white flag fits better than the map. :p

I'll post the new skin soon (I think), so be patient (even if it's hard for you ;) ).

EDIT: What does the Polish text mean?

well the polish text means: "for freedom: yours and ours" it's a idae of polish romanticism in XIX century. the policy of the second republic of Poland wasn't unforunatelly so close to that idea : polish nationalist and many other examples (Jews to Madagascar) but i'm preparing a special event line to change this :) and the Jan Jacobson - imaginated person represented by the picture of young Nietzsche plays the mian part there so that's the reason i would like to see this picture (even if you'd cut a part of it) in your artwork :)

and in the matter of background: maybe you could use these images :D
the topbar: (replace the polish flag with the flag i've posted in my request on polish forum please)

the sidebar and the main skin bg have been uploaded on my esnips account:
http://www.esnips.com/web/bgsforskin
cause the imageshack doesn'tsupport such big files :/

they've been taken from the gip0.5 i hope that authors of this project won't have something against about using their work by you :)

Can anybody familiar with GIP make a Russian flag topbar for me? The modern-looking three-barred Russian flag. I can make a crude one myself with Microsoft Paint, but it won't have any of that nice shading along the folds. Here's South Africa's, it can fuction as a base for those of you not familiar with GIP:

Also, I still haven't figured out how to make the modern Russian flag appear on the NATO counters. I've editted the image in gfx/palettes, but the old white and blue "St. Andrew's Cross in reverse" icon just won't go away, even though it's no longer visible anywhere on my disc.

Are you using an old game save? Even if you delete pictures the original ones will still show up if you started the game before the edit.
 
Non-Swastika German Flag and Shield

I am using the GIP DD mod which has the swastikas... I plan on positng screenshots for my AAR, but dont have a non-swastica flag and shield to revert back to.

Would appreciate it greatly if somebody could post the .bmp files here so I can replace the ones I have.

Cheers and thankls... :)
