Overview
DuffTimer Skin is a plugin for DuffTimer that allows you to define custom bar types, which change the appearance of DuffTimer's effect bars.
Requirements
You must be using DuffTimer v2.1.0 or later.
Usage
After installing DuffTimer Skin a new button will be placed on the DuffTimer options window in the general tab under advanced options. See the screenshot below. Click on that button to open the DuffTimer Skin window. In the skin window you will need to type in the name of a skin to create, click on new, then select your skin and load it. At that point you may edit it and use test to preview the new skin. Once you are satisfied click on save, and the skin will be available under bar type in the DuffTimer options window.
Limitations
- Dufftimer Skin does not override any options already available to DuffTimer. If an option already exists in DuffTimer, such as the bar texture, then it is not available in DuffTimer Skin.
Hints
- All of the fonts DuffTimer uses are 16-18 pixels high, keep this in mind when defining the Timer and Name heights.
- You will be able to scale the window in the layout editor, so getting the overall size right is not as important as the relative sizes.
- The bar and border elements will be set to the effect color, this is why they have no color attribute.
- The skin you create does not have to fit within the preview area. For instance, vertical bars often extend above and below it. This does not matter, they will work fine.

Installation Guide
- Exit "Warhammer Online" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start Warhammer Online
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of WAR. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
