This article or section is missing vital information. You can help the SL Wiki by editing it. Installation instructions for Mac OS X and Linux

Please don't hold me responsible if using my replacement XUI files results in something nasty happening, I don't post them unless they work for me.

Preview

These instructions should allow you to preview the replacement XUI file without overwriting the original.

1. Save a copy of the replacement XUI code to disk
2. If the Client/Server menus aren't visible, press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [ D ].
3. Client > XUI > Load from XML
4. Locate and select the file you saved

Installation

Windows

1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\SecondLife\skins\xui\
2. Open the folder for the language in question
3. Make a duplicate of the file you're replacing (in the unlikely event something goes poof)
4. Open the file you're replacing
5. Copy & paste the code from the Wiki article for the file in question, replacing all code that was there originally
6. Restart SL
7. Enjoy!
