# Change TinyMCE Skin?

 * Hi, I found this great page where I can generate a custom TinyMCE skin:
    [http://skin.tiny.cloud/](http://skin.tiny.cloud/)
 * I can’t figure out how to install the downloaded skin though. Using your plugin,
   I have the option to change the default skin setting from “lightgray.” So, I 
   uploaded the new skin files to wp-includes > js > tinymce > skins. The new theme
   is called “dark”.
 * But when I change the “skin” value to “dark” in your plugin, it just doesn’t 
   work.
 * I’m using the classic editor.
 * Any ideas?

 * In WordPress the skin is customized a lot. Not sure it will work if you change
   the default `lightgray` skin. TO do that you’ll need a small WP plugin that contains
   the other skin and changes the setting in the TinyMCE init array to use it.

 * Thanks Andrew. I found a much better/simpler solution to creating a [dark theme for WordPress admin](https://lioncx.com/2019/08/07/the-best-dark-theme-for-wordpress-admin/).
