Use the add-on central routine and download the skin files for the skin you want to use. After that, the little red box that says download will change to Install. Install it. Then the images folder, etc... will be in the skin folder for that skin like it used to be. When you make your changes, rename the old skin.bin and let the game rebuild the skin on reload, or you can do this through changes skins as long as when it returns to the skin you want to use it doesn't have the original, necessitating the rebuild.

One caution. Andreas and I are still exchanging communications regarding a BZ about the Black skin. It rebuilds 'almost' correctly, but something IMO is still wrong with the files that exist on the server and there is a likelihood that the pulldown menus will be clear instead of white backgrounds after you do this. Personally, I love the mood icons, but I'd wait for the problem to be solved. I've tested Blue, Classic at least once, and they don't seem to have the problem. But be advised Black may not produce clean results overall as goes pulldowns. Sorry for the ramble. Just trying to save you some time on both ends.
