OurMedia

From WowAce Wiki

Here you can find textures for backgrounds, statusbars, borders, fonts, etc. If you want to share your custom artwork or a font you find pretty cool, then this is the place.

The goal of OurMedia is not to recreate or copy the wonderful SharedMedia package, but offer new backgrounds, borders, statusbars and sounds to those who don't wish to or can't create them themselves. OurMedia makes use of SharedMedia, but it is possible to create your own media package as well.

Adding custom files to SharedMedia

Make a copy of the file "INSTRUCTIONS for MyMedia.txt" and rename it "MyMedia.lua" in the SharedMedia folder.
Create a new folder named "MyMedia files"
Place your media files into the "MyMedia files" folder
Add information about your newly added media. Each item of media that you want to add should have its own line that uses the relevant example as a template. To add details about more than one item, just add another line to that section, changing the specific details (eg, the font name and path)
You should only need to change entries between the lines marked "START" and "END"
