Chapter 3 Customize GUI's SKIN
This section describes the ways to customize GUI skin on your own accord. You can either overwrite old skin with new skins to suit your preference or use the default skin setting. Remember! Keep the bitmap filename same and bitmap size to it's original dimensions or else the skin may not be displayed properly.
(3-A) View Skin files
There are 19 bmp files altogether and the skins can be found in "/etc/fmr2"
directory. You need to change directory to " /etc/fmr2 " and
list all the files.
cd /etc/fmr2
ls -all
