SELECTIVE CUSTOM SKINS
Included when installing Selective
Selective Custom Skins is an optional media extension that adds high-resolution interface imagery, additional fonts, unitframe textures, indicator styles, reticles, healer icons, artwork, and expanded icon-replacement choices.
Each media family is independently controlled from Selective’s Homepage. Disabling the extension or an individual media family removes those entries from active selectors without affecting Selective’s core features.
