Download Links:

  • Extract the zip file of your choice; there will be two folders "app_settings" and "skins". Copy those two folders into your SecondLifeReleaseCandidate program folder (on windows this is C:\Program Files\SecondLifeReleaseCandidate\ by default):
    • "Retro" skin download - This zip file contains the custom colors.xml file + darker image textures that will override the defaults in the "Dazzle" look of 1.20
    • Skin download to revert back to Dazzle Skin - This zip file contains a blank colors.xml file + the "Dazzle look" image textures, for those who wish to revert to the 1.20 default without a re-install of 1.20


Recolored Skins (colors.xml only)

Dazzle Glass

A light-on-dark Dazzle skin with lots of transparency

By: Elle Pollack

Apply this to version(s): Viewer 1.20

Download Link: Skin/_Dazzle Glass

This color sceme still has the "Dazzle" look but returns to a lot of the white-on-dark-background mode of the classic for most floating windows. In the process I discovered the wonders of transparency settings - having a big window blocking my view has always been one of my deep seated peves, appearently. Active windows are semitransparent, inactive windows almost completely so. Some people might have a problem with that but it makes Dazzle much more useable for me.
