I use Paint Shop Pro : ĭ) An existing default skin replacement. Tools and files requiredĬ) A graphic program that allows you to save files using the png format, preferably one that will allow you to do batch conversion.

The goal of this exercise is to use an already existing replacement skin, and replace all the textures from the skin with new ones.
