change skins on absolute?

[daryn]

anyone have any idea how to do this? i downloaded some from the site and it just saves them to the desktop. any idea which folder to put them in?

[grouchie]

i have always had a problem with this as well.

In game i chose to download new skins... however when i go to choose one, they never apply themselves

In C:\Program Files\Absolute Poker\data name whatever background you want to use as 'bg6.dat' for 6 max or 'bg9.dat' for full ring. Just say yes to the file changing warning and it should work fine. Gets around the problem of skins not working with 6max.

change the name of the skin you download to bg9.dat?

err, sorry looks like they changed it up. Their skinning really sucks imo and it's easier just to mod AP the same as other sites.

I'd recommend just finding a table image you like at HoldemReview or something and just renaming it to bg9.dat or bg6.dat. That's really the easiest way.

Actually, just check out This thread

Yes and then place that file in the folder data folder, which is in the absolute poker folder.

It should work I just chanced mine.

Previously, all their skins worked on both 9-handed and 6-handed tables. Since an update a couple months ago, you now need to get skins specific to the number of seats at the table. Currently there are very few 6-max skins.

To apply the skin, I just open the file (Absolute Poker is set as the application to open the skin files in Windows), then it asks you if you want to apply the skin. But, if you download a 9-handed skin and you're at a 6-handed table, the skin will not work.
