# 3.5. KJofol Skins

The Noatun KJofol skin loader is a partial reimplementation of a Windows® under the same name.

Noatun's implementation has a few limitations, unfortunately. The skins must be `PNG` based, and uncompressed on disk.

To install a skin, (in the Windows™ ZIP format), follow these commands:

     % cd $KDEHOME/share/apps/noatun
     % mkdir skins (if needed)
     % cd skins
     % mkdir new_skin ; cd new_skin
     % unzip /path/to/new_skin.zip

If the images aren't PNG based, you can easily convert them with the following script, after changing to the skin's directory. Replace `bmp` with the another image format if needed.

     % for i in *.bmp ; do convert $i `echo $i | sed s/bmp$/png/`; done; rm *.bmp
     % cat skin.rc | sed s/\.bmp/\.png/g > temp ; mv temp skin.rc

You can also make your own skins with the tutorial at http://www.angelfire.com/mo/nequiem/tutorial.html. Noatun's implementation does not have support for the Dock/Windowshade mode, and the seeker cannot be a bar.
