Edit an Existing Skin | Object2VR

Object2VR has pre-installed skins. You can find them through the menu in the Flash and HTML5 settings or in the Open menu when in the Skin Editor.

Edit a default or custom skin

1. Go to Tools in the Menu Bar and choose, Skin Editor. This will open an empty Skin Editor.
2. In the Menu Bar for the Skin Editor, go to File > Open. This will open the Skins directory. Choose a skin of your choice, and then click Open. This will add the skin to the Skin Editor.
3. Next, choose File > Save As from the menu bar and save your skin with a new name.
4. Edit the skin in any way; by adding to it, deleting elements, changing colors, actions, etc.
5. When you are finished, save the skin. File > Save.

If you save your skin in the default skins folder, it will be available from the list in the Skin/Controller section of the Flash and HTML5 output settings for future use.

◊ NOTE: The default skins cannot be overwritten. You will have to first use Save as… to duplicate the skin with a new filename.
