Hum... first, sorry for my bad english

EQNicePatcher automaticly made the modifications describe in the post by Taleisin and choose a random picture for the patcher's skin.

Steps are :

1/ delete the personnal folder with the custom patcher skin if exist
2/ copy directory skins\default to skins\perso
3/ rename file skins\perso\default.xml to perso.xml
4/ rename eqp_config.xml in eqp_config.xml.bak (erase previous .bak file)
5/ create a new eqp_config.xml with <skin>perso</skin> (auto erase previous tag before make change so tag is always at the good place)
6/ choose a random PNG file in the EQNicePatcher directory and copy/rename it to skins\perso\images\main-bg.png
7/ launch Everquest

In the exemple, I use Perso for personnal folder. This directory is indicate in the INI file at line SkinName=Perso.

The delete operation (step 1) can preserve delete file in the Windows trash if the line "Trash=1" exists in INI file.

Step 1 and 2 are to preserve any bug with futur patch of Everquest. You have always the good files in your personnal patcher skin directory.

Step 7 read the ligne EQExe to launch Everquest. You can use other third program if you don't launch EQ directly.
