GUI skinning: Post pictures
 

If you found a nice skin then post your screenshot here!

How skins are working: Download any *.wba file from the web and put it into your Graal folder (prefered folder: levels/guistyles), and then delete FILENAMECACHE.txt, start Graal and select it in the options.
If servers are using new styles then the style will automatically be available in the options.

Awesome, I am looking for some now. :D
I am going to try to make one with one of my nature photos of the sky

Heres one, i like it its on the first page
titled:
Chinatown Too

It's called yellow blue. :)

Needs a bit of work, maybe a transparent and non-transparent version.

Oh kewl ill make my own GUI =)

where did u get that one?

I felt clever because I copied a vista skin and renamed it "toon" so I don't have that silly skin when I play games :p

Can we get a copy of the .wba for the default skin?

I want to see a nice green one. :cool:

Dean send me urs!

We will make a kit next week so you can make your own wba

The best to create your own theme is to use SkinStudio:

Does anyone have the link for the Gamecube skin? I can't find it anywhere..

Here is gamecube.wba and xbox.wba.

@ Vulcan

I can't seem to get a decent skin to work :/
Some skins completely freeze up my computer and forces it to restart(BSoD), while others don't seem to 'fit' right. The start bars get skewed, text doesn't look right and so forth.
Anyone have a good Vista/XP skin that works with Graal?

The gamecube one is nice.

A little too bulky for my tastes :( Though I might give it a try. I was looking for something that would just keep things looking familiar.

I am having problems with the whole skin to show up...it works on some thing, but not others. In other words, the skin doesn't skin everything that it is suppose to...guess I will keep trying till I find one that works.. :frown:

Iam using this one :O

That one makes graal look nice and clean ^^

Some of the ones I have chosen look great but due to my love of darker colours, they are ununsable. Perhaps there should be some options for default colour of text, background, bars etc. Sometimes little things like the dividing bar between the received pm and then one you are writing are missing and you realise how annoying it is to not have it :D

Most of the skins are great but don't work well with the graal gui layout i.e. buttons get shifted to the top, some words are unreadable or covered by a graphic. Still, I found some that work and look good.

I use this.

Yea i saw that one :P

Looks really nice. ^^

Name/link? :eek:

Cool :o
When there themes/skins that are bugged a lot then send us the URL so that we can possibly fix it in a later version. We have tested with a lot of skins but they are made for Windows XP after all so some stuff might be different or they are not correct, e.g. often windows show all buttons even if you cannot minimize or maximize the window, just because it is configured like that in the skin.
Also there is still the problem of messed up graphics when switching between skins that use the same graphic file name, we will fix that in a later version. For now you will need to restart Graal if you experience that.

Stefan, I would suggest to make skins that just fit perfectly with Graal. Several images and a few .ini files maybe to tell Graal what goes where, all zipped together, and Graal reading everything out of a .zip file. That would be awesome.

my skin is called Ealm

That is what we do? The skins (wba) are zip files which contain an ini file and the images. Graal also supports just using *.zip as style, but they are not displayed in the options window.

I know, but .wba is mainly used for every damn part of your OS. Would be cool if it could be reduced to just the stuff Graal is actually using.

Odd, none of mine change the playerlist window, not even if it is shown here, and I try it. :(
Actually, I noticed that some posted, do not either. Must be the theme.

I guess Angelu is also using it as his Windows theme.
