<title>Creating a &ksirk; skin</title>

- &ksirk; is fully skinable. For who have graphic capabilities, creating a new skin is as simple as copying an existing one, editing or changing the graphics and updating the data in a .desktop configuration file, which is done using the &kappname;.

- In the default skin, the sprites are flags, infantry, cavalry and cannon. Infantry represents one army, five for cavalry and ten for cannons. Cannons are also used to display fighting armies. That's why there is three kinds of cannon sprites: normal static or moving cannon, firing one and exploding one.

- Each sprite image is the concatenation of the various views of the object and for each view, its frames. Views are organized vertically and frames horizontally. Where to cut the image in individual frames is found by dividing the height of the image by the number of views and the width by the number of frames. These data are found in the onu.desktop file.
