This tutorial will show you how to add custom skyboxes, as I've found through quite a bit of experimentation. This requires a lot of script editing, therefore I decided it would be placed here.

First, make sure you know and understand Cubescript well. The menus are all made of Cubescript.

It's also best that you've read the pages about Creating a Shop Script and Menu Editing.

This is best done with Notepad++. That's what I used, and some features are extremely useful in doing this.

Now, to start, open up data/menus.cfg. Hit CTRL+F, and type in skybox. The first result of the search should be a list of skyboxes, starting with loopix. Select the loopix line and hit CTRL+F2. This will set a bookmark, which is very useful for later.

The next thing to do is to search again. This time, keep going until you find "newgui skies". Scroll down a bit, and set a bookmark next to "guitab skyboxes". To go back and forth between the two bookmarked lines, hit F2. Pretty useful, eh?
