I want to make a skin so by the time i get my VDJ pro I could use it but I found the "Skin Creation Reference" confusing, is there anyone that can help me understand how to make a skin?

If you want to create your own skin from scratch, you don't have to think about
coding for starters. First you choose your screen resolution, and use your favorite
graphical editor to create a blank picture of that resolution. Than, the hard part,
design the skin how it will look and imagine all the elements that you will need and
their position, size, functionality. After you have that finished, the hardest work
beginns, that is mapping every function to the xml (which is basically a program
that tells the software what to do with the graphics), and creating all the
animations in the graphics below the skin design.
I suggest you use the link that jimmy gave you for understanding all the functions,
and before you begin, study a few skins that are already made and try to modify
them first.
Creating your own skin is a demanding task, it's not something you can do over
a weekend in your spare time ;)
