- Use any other TGA/BLP texture file or any other 'pack' of skin,
- Display a grid to setup your interface correctly,
- Modify the 3D rendering area with viewport function,
- Work in any resolution,
- Low memory usage & standalone addon (no libs or dependency are needed).

The following skins are packaged and are ready to use via the option menu:
- Dark Shadow serie, Simple Black, Fade Black, Red Fury, Warcraft Classic, Ice Dragon, Ice Dragon remake (credits to Xaphiroth), Ice Dragon remake with pet bar(credits to

FAQ :
-----
How do I run menu config ? type "/bx Menu" or "/Btex menu" in the chat windows.
Why the download is so big ? it's because it contain many images.
How do i load custom skins? Copy TGA or BLP files to /interface/btex/skins/ directory, and use the "custom texture" options on the top dropdown menu. Write name file without

the end "-1.tga". Exemple: for 'blabla' skin, you have 4 tga named blabla-1.tga, blabla-2.tga. Write 'blabla' in the custom name.
Do the skin support transparency ? yes. Via images files and via WOW API.
Can i use BLP file? Yes. use custom load skin, and do like with any other tga file.
Is there any PSD template i can use to make my own skin ? :Sure, just go to : http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11906-BtexPSDforskinmaking.html I recommand using The

GIMP or if you have money Photoshop CS4.
BUT, remember to share !
How can i share my artwork ? : create an account on wowinterface then upload it here as a plugin : http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7906-BTex.html#optional

Exclamation Fan Update

Seriously someone update this if there is an issue of people taking over other people's work ask them then post the work you have done as a "fan update" on this site. If the author cares enough to make you take it down maybe they will finally take the time to update it to current release. As I said before I have a template in kgPannels that makes it so I can use the btex art rather well but I would rather have the original add-on back. Often times all it takes is a simple e-mail to ask the author for permission to do a fan update and sometimes it even gets them back in the groove where they will take the project back over.

Took me around 20 mins but I made a template in kgpannels that can be adapted to use any of the textures I assume that is why the textures are still being posted.

tl;dr
Working 4.0 version: <snip>
Thanks for keeping this mod alive!

tl;dr
Working 4.0 version: <snip>

But we are still waiting for an update... (i had seen screenshots from the 3.0 version. Any chance we can download a beta version ?)
Easier than that type: /btex custom to get back to the custom skin menu.
