This came in as a comment on the Custom Skins for OGame article. I figured it was important enough to publish as its own article.
Local Skins with Opera
- You can use local skins with opera this way: – install web server (recomended Abyss web server – only 250kb download); put your local skin folder in htdocs folder where you installed web server (example: C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs);
- go to ogame settings and change skin location to http://127.0.0.1:80/name_of_skin/
- refresh/relogin to ogame
NOTE: This same method should work with Firefox as well (or any browser really). I haven’t yet tried it. I use a hosted skin from the default list that OGame provides.

just wanted to say that if you’ve got firewall you need to to allow web server to act as a server (this is pretty obvious :))
On one computer I also changed default port from 80 to 8000 – sometimes change of port is easier way to make things work than configuring a firewall.

do you know where I can download the following skin:
http://digilander.libero.it/Numitor/taoma/taoma%20skin/
or any other that clearly indicates fleets with different colors for different tasks and shows the fleet and resources flying ?

i dont get it. why do you have to enter the numbers: (http://127.0.0.1:80/name_of_skin/)
instead of C://skin/ ?

the number is the adress, it means localhost (local pc, it’s a local website)

Hi pucurica
You don`t need to download the skin.You just copy the link and then just paste it into the skin path in the option menu.BTW i`m using that skin ATM.

I use Apache webserver. It works perfectly with every browser, but without port address. Simply http://127.0.0.1/skin_folder/
127.0.0.1 = localhost
sintax “file:///my_path_to_skin” works with firefox, but it doesn’t work with opera.
