4. Look for new skins via "right click" -> "Check for Updates" or use the shortcut "F5"

Setting up the PartyPoker client: (example for english client):

• Table Options->General Options: "Enable 4-color deck"
• Table Options->General Options: Uncheck "Display charakter/player image on table"
• Player Image->Classic Table Characters: "Classic characters"

• Themes->Table Themes->New Table: "Default"
• Themes->Table Themes->Classic Table: "Default"
• Themes->Switch Table: "PartyPoker classic"/"New PartyPoker"

New skins & own skins:
Just link to your new skins in here and I'll add them to the map pack if there are 3 or more people voting for it. Alternatively you can put the skins in the skin folder(s) on your own.

In case you want to create your own skin you can follow these steps:

1. Copy all images of the PartyPoker client that you want to modify into a seperate folder
2. Now modify the images as you like
   a) if it is a classic layout, name the table "carpet.jpg" and copy the "table.png" from another skin (its just 1pix transparent png)
   b) if it is a modern layout, name the table "Table_Carpet.jpg" heißt
3. Move this directory into the Skin folder (with respect to the skin folder structure)
4. Restart the SkinChanger and install your new skin
