Welcome to
the Official HoverDesk Tutorial.
My aim with this tutorial
is not to teach you how to make bmp images for themes - there's plenty of
people out there who could teach you that kind of stuff much better than I
could ever hope to achieve.
It's not to teach you how to do everything there is to know about HoverDesk
- I don't know everything there is to know!!
Instead, my aim is to provide you with a bunch of bmps, via a downloadable
zip file, then walk you through how to apply these bmps to HoverDesk to
make
the theme.
Hopefully by the time you reach the end of the tutorial you'll have picked
up enough tips to apply the same methods to your own bmps.
To follow this tutorial you will need to download a zip file containing the bmps/textures for the theme.
You can download the file by clicking on the icon below.
