high tech redneck · 1st August 2000, 05:42

I downloaded a skin and i edited it a little with the colors and stuff and i dont know how to put it on that skin permanently. I broke it apart and worked on it with paint shop and i dont know how to put it back on. HELP

How exactly did you break it apart?

btw. Yes, it matters.

Well I'm assuming that by breaking it apart
you unzipped the .zip file - since it's the
only way you could edit the graphic files.

Basically, to put humpty dumpty back together
again, you need to "Re zip" the files. But
since you only edited the "Main" file, it's
easier to go into to the zip file, and then
"Add" the main.bmp into it. That main.bmo
will over write the existing one, and you can then check the skin out with the re-done
area.

I hope that isn't confusin'

It might be easier if u put all the bmps in a folder in your skins directory (yes it will show the skin) then you can edit and view repeatedly without zipping and unzipping
