notes
-------------
I created this skin to go along with my new website (which, funny enough, is not even near completion). You can check out the future ratchetsgame.com website at http://develop.ratchetsgame.com (thanks for hosting me Deep!).
All graphics on both the website and this skin were created by yours truly. I'm aware that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but plagarism is definitly not appreciated.
Please don't send me an email requesting the "font" I used for the window titles. I drew the titles, pixel by pixel, using photoshop.
You can send comments or questions to info-is@in-file or, alternatly, info-is@in-file.
You can download updated versions of this skin online at http://www.ratchetsgame.com/
You may redistribute this skin as long as this readme.txt file is included, unaltered, in the package. All other files must be included, unaltered, as well... In short, don't mess around with this .zip (or .wsz, whatever it is).
You may _not_ reuse or reissue this skin or any of the components (graphics or otherwise) it contains and claim it as an original work.

faq answers (guess the questions)
---------------------------------------
- I made it using Photoshop 6.01. I hear PaintShop Pro is pretty good so if you can't "afford" Photoshop, you might want to check that out. I personally haven't used PSP since I got Photoshop v3 a couple years ago.
- the "fonts" I used aren't fonts at all. I created every character in the skin pixel by pixel and, as such, I can't send a font file to you simply because one doesn't exist.
- dodge and burn
- because I like those colors.
- no I'm not going to change them to suit your tastes better. It's subjective -- some people hate them, other people love them...
- yes I will skin other things to make a "matching set". Email me, or send me a Deviant comment, or a PM on the Winamp forums, or ICQ me at 2864487.
- yes I'm considering doing a liteSTEP theme
- yes I really really love lots and lots of feedback.
- I'm not very good at making desktop wallpapers so don't hold your breath
- yes I'm from Newfoundland
