What are skins? Skins let you customize the way Mercury Audio Player looks! It all begins with an XML script that the skin designer writes. This script will determine how the GUI looks by dictating what should be created and where.

Once the XML script and the images are created, it's time to compile the skin. Why compile? This allows Mercury to focus on audio playback and not XML parsing, which means fast skin changing for you, the user!

To install these skins, you will need the current version of Mercury Audio Player and, of course, a computer to run it on. Place the Mercury Skin File (.msf) in the "skins" subfolder where Mercury is installed, run Mercury, and the skin will now be selectable! Just choose it from the shortcut menu, or under the Options menu!

And now, on to the Skin Vault.

For those interested in creating a skin, we provide the Mercury Skin Creation Kit. This is everything you need to begin creating skins for Mercury! A compiler, sample scripts, and documentation.
