Show off your Impulse skin!
Take that, green!
Friday, March 21, 2008 by Bebi Bulma | Discussion: Skinning
Yes....that's right. Who thought it would be sooo easy to skin.
It's as simple as replacing the images in Program Files/Stardock/Impulse/Skins/Images* (3 folders) and editing font colors in the skin.xml. So easy even *I* could do it!
TIP: When Impulse updates, it WILL overwrite all the original images that you changed. Take a tip from Snowy and rename all your modified images (I just added [s] to the end to know they're mine) and then update the changed image names in the skin.xml and save a copy somewhere, so when Impulse updates, all you need to do is replace the skin.xml. I just tested it and worked great. (Impulse updated and it was green again, gah!)
So let's see your skinned Impulse.

I know this thread is about skinning Impulse, but I thought it would be fun to skin the WB Config.
I used Images from the Synthek WB by danilloOc.

Obviously not done yet. But since I'm using the No Load Limit theme for everything else I decided to try and match it up.

There are some great skins here. Some of the walls make it hard for these ol' eyes to find icons but that's the point, right? If I don't like it, I can skin it.

See what you all went and started.
It is not finished, though.
