Question: Launcher Skins

Post by TheAbschaum » Wed Jan 09, 2008 5:26 pm

Hey all,

I was just wondering if someone could possibly tell me how to make my own AO Launcher skins? I've seen the ones here on this site and I like them, but all the same, I'd like to learn how to make 'em...

So, if anyone could tell me how, I'd be much obliged.. :D

launcher skins are the absolute easiest thing you could possibly want to mod in AO! Find a current launcher, C:\Program Files\Funcom\Anarchy Online\cd_image\data\launcher\skins is default path. The bitmap image titled "Bg" is what you need to look for, check the stats/ dimensions of that file then just make sure the new image fits in that area. Keep in mind the top 2/3 of the image is filled with the usual message from FC, and keep that section of the image a light color (gray/ white) since the 'character already logged in' message and other alert boxes are evidently transparent (had it all black and it looked very nice until an alert box popped up and I couldn't read a thing in it!).

Have fun!
