To make a new skin, you'll need to create a directory that will contain an XML file and all the custom images. The XML file defines the player settings (such as font color) and images. The specifics of this XML file are defined in the Longtail Skinning Guide. The directory should be given the name of your new skin and the XML file should have the same name, for example, "my_skin/my_skin.xml"

The player skin is broken down into 4 distinct elements:



Each element contains a number of images and setting options, as described in the Longtail Skinning Guide

After you create your custom images, they need to be stored in a folder structure with the skin name as the top folder and the elements (controlbar, display, dock, playlist) as subfolders. This folder structure must be then zipped and uploaded to the web server.
