[Guide]How to create your own Garena Skins!

To create Garena skins you need:

* A Graphics Editing Software (Paint, Photoshop, Corel Draw, GIMP, etc)
* An archiver that supports ZIP files
* The archive password which is: xC&V3s9vaUSmc@s

The Garena has the skin files in the file named skin.ggz that is located in the Garena installed folder, under the subfolder Skin. To edit a Garena skins you need to extract this zip file (skin.ggz), modify the files in it, and then repack them as a ZIP archive. You'll be prompted for a password, type the one mentioned above. Also you must rename the file skin.ggz to skin.zip to extract it's contents, and after repacking you must rename it again to skin.ggz and place it in the Garena\Skin folder, overwriting the existing one.


Thing you need to know before start editing those files:

* The color code used in the ui.xml file is BGR (Blue, Green, Red), you can copy the code from Garena Helper - Skin and Color Options
* To obtain Transparency you can use the color Magenta RGB=(255,0,255)
* Check the ui.xml and find out/edit the picture margins because garena does stretching
