Thank you to Jagex for their permission to use their graphics for these skins!

Even though one page it gives permission, yet on  another page, it states otherwise (this includes everyone; including well known Fansites such as Rune HQ, Rune Tips, and RuneScape Wiki)...weird, but ok.

Here's why I say this. On RuneScape it states the following:

Q. Can I use graphics from the RuneScape website?

A. As we are aware that fan sites want to help create a RuneScape atmosphere, we have put together a pack of graphics that you may use to download them click here . You should not use any other images from the RuneScape website.

Yet, when you read "Is it ok for me to make a fan site?" , it states:

Yes, of course. We encourage the creation of fan sites and many of our players use them to gain information about our game.

There are a few pointers that you need to follow:


1) You must visibly acknowledge that the images are the property of Jagex Ltd, and that Jagex and RuneScape are registered trademarks of Jagex Limited, and you must provide a link to the official http://www.runescape.com website. 

That section gives people permission to use their graphics as long as they give credit.

Yahoo Version, Computer and Graphic Editor

This is just a little FYI for those that are wondering about what Yahoo! version I'm using, the operating system and graphic program I use to create the skins.

The OS that I'm using is Windows XP Home Edition  Version 2002 Service Pack 2. The computer is a Compaq with 1.79 GHz, 704 MB of RAM.

The Graphic Editors I use are Microsoft Paint and Corel Paint Shop Pro X.

My current Yahoo! Messenger is (8.1.0.209), module (8.0.0.1)

All skins found here are compatible with  versions (v6, v7, v7.5, v8.1)

The self-installing skins will be extracted to:                                      C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Shared\Graphics\
For those skins that need to be manually extracted: They MUST be placed in  their own folder

NEWS

Finished Skins!

The Easter 2008 skin is now available for download on the right.

Upcoming Skins

Cooking, Melee, Penguin Ice, & Christmas 2007 (not necessarily in that order)

I am currently working on the Christmas skin.

If you have any suggestions or would like me to create a certain theme/type, just shoot me an email. All suggestions and ideas will be given fair consideration.

Total Skins

Current Total Skins Created: 64 (to date - 03-28-2008) BUT...only the cream of the crop makes it online. I have other sites that house other skins, but I choose to keep them separate from here and my RS life.

If you can't download a skin file for whatever reason  (sometimes it temporarily gets locked out because the daily download limit is exceeded), please email me and I'll send it to you.
