Need Help using Skins

Michael Berg · Dec 26, 2005, 07:46 PM

Hi. I've downloaded a skin, but all I get when I unzip it are .ini and .bmp files.

Where do I find the .kxs file that is needed? A quick tutorial on using (not creating) skins would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mick Berg.

A kxs file is a rar file remaned to kxs.

Okay, thanks. It would be good if that were mentioned somewhere. Can it also be a zip file renamed? The skin was downloaded as a zip file.
Thanks,
Mick Berg.

Well, that was easy. Seems that all you need to do is, put the archive file for the skin in your KX folder, then change the extension, whether it be a .rar or a .zip, to .kxs. Then register the new skin (in the right click menu on the KX mixer). The mixer will disappear (close) and then when you re-open it it will have the new skin.
