_______ ABOUT SAMEGAME SKINS

	You can make your own skins and use them with SameGame.
	This file contains information about how you do it.


_______ HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SKIN

	1. Create a folder in the SameGame directory. The name
	of the folder will be the name shown in the skin selector.

	2. Design your skin. Look at the pictures in the default
	folder and figure out how to cut your images.

	3. Create a file called samegame.ini in the folder. This
	file positions all the elements. See ini file variables
	below for details.

	4. The icon shown in in the skin selector is 32x16 pixels
	and should be named sm_icon.bmp. Make a nice one.

	5. Test your skin.

	6. If you're satisfyed, send the url and a short
	skin desciption to samegame@tjerngren.net and your skin
	will be added to the download list.
