I was curious what your workflow is for making your skins. I guess I am mainly looking for ideas on a process.  Do you use screenshots and then cut up your images?  Do you visualize your colors and fonts first?&nbsp;  Do you go one by one through each section or just what suits you?  These are the types of things I am curious about. Don't have to answer the above specifically.
