As a mini-guide of C2 skinning, instead of editing the files in place, you actually create a new folder in the Contents dir. Say you wanted to edit the placement of something in the Inventory:

#REDIRECT [[Category:Client_Skinning]]

−
1. Create Contents/<newSkinName>/ next to Contents/Default
 
−
2. Copy the appropriate file from Contents/Default/<dir1>/<dir2> to Contents/<newSkinName>/<dir1>/<dir2>
 
−
3. Make the changes you want to make to the file
 
−
4. Change the UserConfig.xml packages attribute to read 'packages="<newSkinName> Default"' instead of 'packages="Default"'
 
−
 
 
−
This will tell C2 to first look in <newSkinName> for the files it needs, then revert to Default for anything it doesn't find. You can chain many of these packages to apply multiple mods. (Eventually we'll have a UI mod manager as well).
 
−
 
 
−
Lastly, the packages attribute can also read in zip files, so you could place a zip file named <newSkinName>.zip in Contents/ and add it to the packages in the same way, and it would read it.

PS. if anyone wants to wiki this that'd be great. Just pm me if you think details are missing.
