Hi Justin, The IomTools is created by a superberny. Yes, he is a native spanish speaker. The versions that I have downloaded always start up in english. But I've never had to run the install, so maybe it's the install that is still in spanish. Use babelfish.altavista.com, or one of the other translators to figure out how to get it installed, but once installed it should be switchable between english and spanish with a link right on the screen.

For customizing the skin...well, it looks like the links to the iomega blue and original iomega bitmaps were broken. I've fixed them so you can now take a look. Basically, you're replacing the existing BMP files with ones you modify. You have to save the modifications in R5G6B5 BMP format. Photoshop has this available, although I haven't found it in Photoshop elements. I think it is also available in GIMP. You have to keep the bitmaps the same dimensions, or it will lock up the player. To then make a zip file in IomTools, you'll need to see the two sample skins. It's in a zip format with a preview file. It'll make more sense once you get IomTools installed and look at the ZIP skins (by the way, you leave the skin in the ZIP format when selecting which skin to apply in IomTools).

Hopefully this will be enough to get you started. I've been meaning to create my own skin sometime too. I've got some great ideas, but finding the time to do it has been a nightmare lately. --JCoug 17:48, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

One More Thing...
Thank you for the info, one more thing I wanted to ask is this. I am using Vista and I have the Screenplay pro connected to my network and every couple of days I loose my connectivity to the SPP. If I reboot the SPP it comes right back, do you know of a way around this?

Thank you,

Jhayes
 * Hi Justin. I've had the connectivity drop as well.  Usually happens over wifi.  Occasionally, the SPP actually locks up.  Yeah, I'm familiar with the problem, but I don't have any answers.
 * Oh, I just updated the Modifying the Interface page. I changed my main page to a sunset and it worked, but ultimately I changed it back.  It'll be tricky to get perfect alignment of all of the pictures with the overlays.  So simple colors are probably the way to go -- and nice pics for the overlays like what is done with the iomega blue. --JCoug 08:56, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
