Google is your friend…

Btw, ActiveSkin is not freeware program, you have to purchase the license, and I believe it’s around $100
Are there any free alternatives? It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to purchase a $99 program in order to skin a free one. Can one construct a skin using only photoshop?
No you can’t… you need ActiveSkin’s Skin Builder to compile everything. There is no way you can do these animations (sliding panels) in Photoshop. In fact I never used Photoshop in my whole life… I have it but don’t use it for this. I use Macromedia Fireworks… even at my job where I do this for living.
avast! GUI runs on ActiveSkin engine, so you have to use ActiveSkin’s SkinBuilder. There is no other way at this point.
