Loading a new ScratchSkin

alrighty I know this has been asked a thousand times but I've already search about 40 different ways on this topic and nothing is very direct on how I can change the skin in scratch.
1) I have a source file and the Scratch skin files.
2) I don't know where to put the Scratch skin file.
3) I don't know how squeak identifies a folder to be used for the Scratch skin
4) I feel really freaking emo right now because I spent about 10 hours trying to figure this out and I've gotten no where D:

so if you know how to change the Scratch skin please give me a very direct detailed step by step method on how to do so. thank you all for your help I appreciate it.

Re: Loading a new ScratchSkin

Add/change the desired files in the folder, then Alt-click the ScratchFrameMorph, select 'inspect morph', then type
self readSkinFrom: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'ScratchSkin')
and press Alt+D. It might take a while, the cursor will change to indicate loading.

Re: Loading a new ScratchSkin

I figured out the problem the code is 'ScratchFrameMorph readSkinFrom: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'ScratchSkin') not readSkinFrom: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'ScratchSkin') and you don,t copy and paste it in the bottom panel its in the panel in the right. the you press Alt + D and wait  tongue

no, it's self class readSkinFrom: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'ScratchSkin'), you didn't type what I told you to.... and it IS the bottom panel, the bottom panel knows the correct context.

Re: Loading a new ScratchSkin

LOL You're so funny... (not)
yea, well, I forgot 'self class readSkinFrom:', that's the EXACT SAME THING as 'ScratchFrameMorph readSkinFrom:', apparently you don't know Squeak...

Re: Loading a new ScratchSkin

I know I'm not funny I really don't intend to be, but your way didn't work when I did it so I just did the other way. anywho this thread is old and I already figured out the problem lets just drop this thread. (I'm also newer to squeak then it may have seemed at first, I pick up coding rather fast though.)
