Shadow

2.0

Last updated December 14, 2014

NOTE: the skin folder MUST be named shadow. All lowercase.

For Windows 7, Vista, XP, or older:

Right click on the zip file. Click extract.
Check that the files are in the proper folder. You should have folders called admin, login, main and wiki. If you do not, something is wrong and you need to contact me asap. My email may be found in the yml file.
Go into the headers folder and choose your header.
Copy the header.
Please it in the following folders: admin/images main/images wiki/images
Name it lower-head-overlay.png in all three places.

Now you need to upload the skin to your site.

Open your FTP program.
Go to your site in your FTP program. Open it to the nova folder. You should see folders called applications and nova. Go into the applications folder.
You should see a bunch of new subfolders. One at the bottom should be views. Go into views.
You should now see all the skins on your site.
On the side of your FTP program that shows your computer, go to the folder where the Shadow skin is located.
Drag the shadow folder from the side of your computer, to the side with the skins. Make sure your mouse does not touch one of the other skins. That will place the Shadow skin in that other skin. Try to aim for the files below the skins.
Now that it is uploaded, you must now name it properly. It must be named shadow or it will not work. All lower case, all one word.
Log into your Nova site.
Under Site Management on the side menu, go to Skin Catalogue.
Now you should see the skin Shadow with an Install button on the same line. Click the Install button.

YOU'RE DONE!
