How to Create a Custom Skin

  1. Creating a Skin Set for TaeoUI:

    1) Rename the folder TaeoUISkins to the name of your skin set (for example, PallySkins). Rename the .TOC file from TaeoUISkins.TOC to <name of the folder>.TOC (for example, PallySkins.TOC)

    2) Open Skins.toc and edit Title, Notes, and Author with your information.

    For example:

    ## Title: Pally Skins for Taeo UI
    ## Notes: A set of T8 Pally themed skins.
    ## Author: Name

    3) Open the Textures folder and customize the files as you wish. Be careful to keep the size and position of the textures the same (if you want the components to occupy the same spots/spaces as the defaults).

    4a) Open Skins.lua and edit the paths section with the paths to your textures. The paths will likely be in the form:

    \\\\Interface\\Addons\\<Folder From Step 1 Here>\\Textures\\<Texture Name Here>

    4b) Edit the line starting with "local SkinSetName" to replace "CustomSkins" with "<Your Skin Set Name Here>"

    5) Load up the TaeoUI Config Add-on and choose your skin set from the list in the config menu. Click the Update button.

    6) Enjoy.
