Settings
StormFront stores settings (such as highlights and scripts) separately for each character, either on the server or locally. This can be toggled inside StormFront under Options > Settings > Location.
Local settings are stored as XML files in C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Roaming\StormFront (not the folder in which StormFront is installed).
Visual Skins
There are currently three user interface skins available for the StormFront FE:
- Original "Storm" Skin - Installed by default
- StealthFront Skin - Available via play.net Here
- NishiFront Skin - Available via third party website Here
The Original and StealFront skins were developed by Simutronics and they are both officially supported. NishiFront was developed by a player and it is not officially supported.
To use a downloaded skin: Save the files to your StormFront directory (usually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Simu\StormFront). You can switch your skin by going to Options > Choose Skin in StormFront.
