The look of FG is determined by the ruleset and extensions that you are using. For example, the 4E ruleset comes with a couple theme extensions that you can apply (dungeon and wood).

To change the look of the program, you would need to learn some basics of editing rulesets and/or extensions.

The rulesets and extensions are stored in the Application Data Folder under the Windows Start Menu for FG. You can rename extension files from .ext to .zip in order to open them up to look at them.

Here's an example I made for someone to change a single graphic backgrounds.

If you want to do a more comprehensive theme change, you will need to learn a little about modifying rulesets, which uses XML and Lua programming languages. Feel free to post questions about what you are trying to do, once you've had a chance to open up and look at the files.

Here's a link to the guide on our web site about modifying rulesets:

Another place with information is Foen's Anatomy of a Ruleset. It has a lot of information to help support the information in the FG2 Library.
