How to change Skin

Introduction

What your RO interface looks like can completely change the way you look at and play RO!

Skins, or themes, are packages of bmp files you can download to change the look of your Ragnarok interface.

However, not everyone has the same taste, and some of you might not be satisfied with the way any of those skins look! This guide will teach you how to add MORE skins, the ones you really want.

Finding More Skins

Where do you find skins? Well, if I were writing this guide some time ago, I would have given you a long list of many different websites that you can download different skins from. However, now, RO Empire website has archived most skins available online into one place -- their skins database. Hence, the list I give you now is quite small.

1) iRO Skin Database
(Occasionally updated)

2) RO Empire Skins
(The biggest database of skins -- MOST RECOMMENDED. The only downside is that it requires registration in order to download skins.)

3) Serinex.net Skins
(A small skin site.)

4) iROWiki.org Skins
(Several skins you can conveniently download.)

Implementing the skin

Now it's time to download the skin.
The image below shows you an example of me about to download my personal favorite skin called "NightSong Heaven" from iROWiki.org Skins database mentioned earlier.


When your download is complete, open the file (usually in .zip or .rar format) to unzip it.

What you should then have is a folder with the name being the skin title, with a bunch of bmp images and a sub-folder called "basic interface", all in unzipped, regular state.

The inner contents should be something like this --


** Make sure your downloaded skin folder is not nested within another skin folder. The inner contents should exactly be what is shown in the above picture as soon as you open your first folder. **

Now, copy the skin folder that you've just downloaded and paste it into "skin" folder in your Pooh-RO directory.



Using the New Skin!

Now go in game, and press Alt+O.

In the skins dropdown menu, you should see your skins listed in descending alphabetical order.


Simply select the skin, and voila! You are done.
That was easy!

Enjoying the Skin!

There are many, many great skins out there, and so it is helpful to be able to freely change your in-game interface as you see fit. It is important to know that you are not limited by the skins that you automatically see by default.

Skin is undoubtedly the most significant visual aspect of RO. It can completely change the way you feel about the game, from technical to medieval to just plain cute!

Hope this guide helped to better some of your gaming experience at Pooh-RO!

PS: this is another one of my favourite skins, "Baphomet."


Feel free to post the names of favorite skins or any troubleshooting questions you may have.
