Instructions on how to skin an addon

Instructions

Skinner has sub-directories, AddonSkins and SkinMe.

To have an Addon skinned, move or copy its file from AddonSkins into SkinMe, then Exit and restart, the addon will then be skinned :)

All the files from AddonSkins can be put into SkinMe with no detrimental effect. If you don't have the addon loaded then the skinning code will be removed from the addon memorypool.

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 FuBar plugin or using the slash command /skinner bd default
2. Specify the texture that you want to use, either via the FuBar plugin or using the slash command /skinner bd backdrop <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 FuBar plugin or using the slash command /skinner cp backdrop to use the Color Picker
4. Reload the UI, /rl

Note: Other Backdrop values can be changed if required, please refer to the Slash Commands for these options.

To turn off the Textured Backdrop, you must do the following 3 things:

1. Turn off the option to use the Textured backdrop, either via the FuBar plugin or using the slash command /skinner bd default
2. Change the Default Backdrop colour to the colour you want, either via the FuBar plugin or using the slash command /skinner cp backdrop to use the Color Picker
3. Reload the UI, /rl
