Looking for an addon to skin action bars

I have CyCircled but don't like the look of the skins.

Anyone know where I cant get some more CyCircled skins or is there another skinning addon?

I figured out a solution. You can download CyCircled skins (and probably other skinning addons) from future xpacs and just use the texture files.

Install CyCircled for vanilla. Then go to WoW Interface or something and find a CyCircled skin you want. Take the lua file from that skin's texture folder and drop it into the texture folder for your installed CyCircled (most future skins have multiple texture fIles, but just use the main one, usually denoted by "base" or "main" in the file name). Open skins.lua in your installed CyCircled folder with Notepad++. You need to edit the texture path for a default skin to point to your texture instead. You'll see interface//addons//cycircled//textures//glossy0 or something 3 times under the [Glossy] part of the lua code. Change glossy0 for all 3 lines to the texture name you added into the texture folder before. Now selecting "Glossy" in game will show your skin!

I tried to make a new entry instead of changing an existing skin, but you need to edit another lua file in there and it kept messing up. Easier this way and you're never going to use the default skins anyway.
