Creating and Using Custom Skins in Ascension

Ascension allows you to customize its look with custom skins. Here’s how to create and use your own:

Creating a Custom Skin

  1. Navigate to the CubicAudio skins folder:
    • Windows: Usually located in your Documents folder
    • Mac: Library > Application Support > CubicAudio > skins
  2. Copy an existing .zip file from this folder as a starting point.
  3. Unzip the file and customize the individual image files and the skin.json to create your unique look:
    • Modify color codes in the skin.json file
    • Edit or replace image files as needed
    • Ensure all file names match those referenced in skin.json
  4. Zip your modified files and place the new .zip in the skins folder.

Using Your Custom Skin

  1. Open Ascension
  2. Go to Options > Settings
  3. In the Theme section, select your custom skin from the dropdown menu

Tips for Skin Creation

  • Use image editing software to modify existing skin images or create new ones
  • Pay attention to the resolution and format of images (usually PNG or SVG)
  • Test your skin frequently in Ascension to ensure all elements display correctly
  • Consider creating variations of your skin for different scaling sizes

Remember, creating a great skin takes time and iteration. Don’t be afraid to experiment and refine your design!
