A skin is the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript behind every Nova page. It provides the site with its basic structure and style. Skins can be found in the application/views
directory.
Where can I find skins?
The AnodyneXtras site features a wide variety of skins, both those created by the Anodyne team, as well as many created and shared by individuals from the larger simming community.
Use at your own risk
Community contributed skins found on AnodyneXtras are not officially supported by the Anodyne team and may not function optimally on your Nova site. Any questions or support for these skins should be directed to the creator(s) of the skin either through the Comments section of the AnodyneXtras site or in the #xtras
channel on our Discord server.
The skinning guide
We've compiled a handful of pages that go into more depth about different aspects of Nova skins that should provide a good primer for someone getting into building / modifying Nova skins.
Learning from others
Another helpful asset when learning how to skin Nova is looking at how other skin authors have built their own skins. Feel free to use the #xtras
channel in the Discord server to get help or find good examples to use for learning.
