- Use any other TGA alpha channeled texture from other addon like Xart or ElectrofluxTextronator, or any other "pack" of skin,
- Work in any resolution,
- Display a grid to setup your interface correctly,
- Low memory usage.

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.

Do the old XART skins work with BTEX? yes, just put them in the skins directory, and use the "custom texture" options on the dropdown menu.

Do the skin support alpha channel TGA? yes, and you can change the transparency of the bottom frame as well.

Can i use BLP file? not for now. buf if needed, i can add this, just let me know.

How can i add my own skin ? just put it in the /skins directory and choose "Load Custom" from the dropdown menu in game.
then follow insctructions. you can add all Xart texture compliant (512x256 pixel)x4, or make your own with Gimp or photoshop (they have to be TGA aplha channeled).

Is there any PSD template i can use to begin making my own skin ? just go to : http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11906-BtexPSDforskinmaking.html I recommand you use The GIMP or if you have money Photoshop
