10. Skins

Although TiEmu uses its own format for skin, it is able to load VTi and old-VTi skins. But, you are strongly encouraged to use TiEmu skins instead because VTI skin format is somewhat limited and doesn't take care of some portability issues (endianess).

How can I develop TiEmu skins or convert them from VTi?
Julien Blache has developed a multi-platform skin editor, called SkinEdit:


SkinEdit has all of the basic functions of a skin editor and some add-ons:
- import/export of VTI 2.1, VTI 2.5 and TiEmu 2.0 skin format (for all calcs: TI82...V200),
- load any image format (not restricted to JPEG). This feature depends on the pixbuf loaders provided by the GTK+ libraries.

Note: The TiEmu v2.0 skin format is documented. See the docs folder of the source archive.
