Show off your Impulse skin!

Take that, green!

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! :LOL:

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. ;)

Mine (just some basic recoloring and changed the back.jpg):

It's so purdy....

hehe ! As with practically everyone else here ... This is my first attempt , Using a wallpaper by the great NM Smith - whose works I am in awe of ..

Can anyone point me toward the bit that I have to alter to make the font the right colour in the 'MORE INFO/INSTALL panel ... ? ?

Try looking for "infolink" and "infodescription" in the skin.xml.
