iGoSkinWizard v0.94b (Freeware, Open Source)
Requirements: Windows XP (this is a PC app)
Overview: iGo 8 skin resolution converter


This is my try at a skin converter, inspired by SkiGo but written from scratch and with some flexibility to play with.
It converts the .ui, .spr and .vpr script files by applying a set of rules, and resizes the bitmaps.
Feedback welcome, as well as input from skinners on what new rules need to be added and whether the existing ones make sense.
I don't have any experience skinning, so any help is more than welcome.
The replacement rules, if you want to take a look, are available using the "Show rules" button in the "Scripts" tab, and are the files named Rules.<ext> in the program directory.
UPDATE: Since I don't have any more time to develop this, I am releasing the source code. Contact Specter if you wish to continue development and use his website for releases.
