there is or was some help files on modding skins - have a search - you have to unpack the dat 0 and 1 files using the packers that are on here - once you have them unpacked you have a series of css and htm files for various elements of the skin - depending on your knowledge and ambition its all in there
Well I'm sure I could figure it out, however it can't be that simple. Yeah, CSS and HTM stuff to edit, but there must be some file I need to change in order to make it compatible with other versions.
Could somebody tell me what that is or am I expected to figure that out myself?

They don't work with current versions, but if you want to modify them to work with your version, go right ahead.
That's exactly what I've been asking how to do for two full months now.

@Tony: in mentioning that you have designed a skin, would you mind telling me how I should edit 0.dat and 1.dat and whatever else in order to change my own colors?
Thank you all for your responses. -
So I can use those included skins? Can I update them myself to work with new versions... somehow?

The skin I used caused no problems.

While currently, you can search on this board and find some brilliant skins made by Maxthon fans!

Here is some useful information:
@BugSir006,
I have already looked on this website. Perhaps I have missed it, but where are these brilliant MX5 skins you're talking about?
Please link me.On 11/24/2016 at 5:54 AM, karajan said:Let people achieve a more accomplished browser; MX5 is still in early dev. If you want skin before a good stuff can be released; that your point of view.
If someone is working on skins i'm happy for those who call for, though i don't bother.
@karajan I am quite aware that MX5 is in early dev, but believe it or not - in this beta phase, it is superior to other browsers that have more skin availability.
From what I could tell from the Macaw skin, it wasn't hard to update the skin files every beta update, as it was out within a few days of every update (likely longer than a day only because the skin creator wasn't totally invested in keeping it updated).
Thus, yes I want skins before the browser is finalized - why would I wait that terribly long? I know for a fact that MX5 is going to be tested much more before the final version is released. I'm not stopping them from achieving improvement - in this thread it even states that the devs are working on themes themselves.
Not only am I not stopping them, they're doing it themselves! I was just wondering if there was a skin creator that could give me a tiny tutorial on which files I should edit with what in order to create my own skin--or even send me a few files already edited, and then tell me what I should do in order to make it compatible with all new versions.

Thank you all for your responses. -
Macaw thread was deleted. I hate looking at this pasty white browser. Any skins or tutorials on how to skin?
Sooo do any MX5 skins exist?

I dunno, you answered your own question within your post.
Q: Why can't it be that simple?
A: it's hard to say what exactly needs to be changed, as it's not a case of changing a line that says "version=5.0.1" to "version=5.0.2" to make it compatible. It really does depend on what was changed.
On top of not knowing what I need to change if it did need to be changed, even if I did know, say it was an addition to the 'settings' menu. How does that help me with figuring out what to change and how does that affect the skin? Are you saying that if the version update isn't going to affect the UI in any way, the skin should work?
The UI is the only thing I can imagine that could get in the way of a modification, if renaming didn't work.
Tony, I know that they have been renamed, but I wasn't aware just renaming the files is all that needs to be done because I tried it and failed a few times in the past.
But, thank you for the help, I got one to work.
