I would like to know what you call a custom skin and where you put it because I couldnt get my creation to work without moving the default SKIN.INI out and renaming the custom one the same and putting it in the old ones place.

This is where the problem lies. I cannot put more than one skin at a time in the skin manager... and worst of all, when I downloaded the latest HL tonight, the damn thing overwrote my skin file!!!

Theres gotta be a better way to do this.
Thanks

Why you do not create your own skin ?

Thats what I am doing....

The only way I can get it to work is by naming it SKIN.INI, which means that it is susceptible to being overwritten.

What do you name and where do you place a custom skin, such as the one I have created?

You need to make a folder in your skins directory.
Call it what you want like "DukeB skin".
Copy the contents of the "common" skin folder into your new one and modify it. Put a copy of your Skins.ini in there too that is found in the default folder. Make sure the new default ini lines point to your new folders gifs and sounds. You can make it as simple as 1 thing changed or everything.
Test it by choosing it in the skin manager.
