Dark Matter Instructions

Hello.  I'm LadyBird aka FruitLoop and I want to thank
you for downloading this skin.  I tried to make it as 
easy as possible for you, so you would only have to
copy a file to achieve the desired result.

As you can see, there is a folder in the skin called
Headers.  It has no function on the server, but is 
rather a collection of header backgrounds for you to
peruse and use at your leisure.  There are a lot of
different kinds of starships and a few starbases from
Trek, but there is also a gate room for Stargate.
I may have thrown a few other things in there too.


If you are a newbie to skinning, you may want to 
simply use one of the premade headers I have provided.
If you wish to create your own, it must be no other
size than 750X150.  Simply rename it to headerbg.png
and copy it into the following folders:

admin/images
main/images
wiki/images

It is not needed in the login folder.

If you know more than that, or care to try your hand
at modding a skin, and wish to change the colors, I
list the colors used below. The two shades of the 
same color is how the gradient effect is made.

Top Blue: 2277CC
Bottom Blue: 0055AA
Grey: aaaaaa

You can use an open source web editor for changing the
colors rather easily: BlueFish and Notepad++ are both
good options and are both free.

Simply go to Find and Replace, enter the color
you want to change into the Find field, then enter a
hex color you wish to change it to in the Replace
field.  FF0000 is the truest red.  00FF00 is the
truest green.  0000FF is the truest blue.  There are
hex finders on the web that you can use to find a
color you like, but my favorite ones are below.  Happy
skinning!
