How to change the Background Skinner uses

Using Textures as the Backdrop

To use textures as the backdrop to frames as opposed to a colour you need to do 4 things:

  1. Turn off the option to use the default backdrop, either via the Option Panel or using the slash command:
    /skinner backdrop bddefault

  2. Specify the texture that you want to use, either via the Option Panel or using the slash command:
    /skinner backdrop bdfile <filename>
    <filename> uses the format:
    Interface\ChatFrame\ChatFrameBackground
    without a file extension. The texture file must be in either TGA or BLP format.
  3. Change the Default Backdrop colour to have a value higher than 0, otherwise the Texture won't be visible, either via the Option Panel or using the slash command:
    /skinner colours backdrop
    to use the Color Picker.

  4. Reload the UI:
    /rl

Note: Other Backdrop values can be changed if required, please refer here for these options.
