How to Install Custom Skins in Delta
Give Delta's on-screen controls a new look with custom .deltaskin files — import once, switch anytime.
Overview
Delta's default on-screen controller works fine, but it's not the only option — the emulator supports a custom skin format called .deltaskin that lets creators redesign the entire layout, from button placement to full console-themed artwork like a Game Boy Advance SP shell or a transparent minimal overlay.
Skins are console-specific, so a skin built for GBA games won't appear as an option while you're playing an NDS game, and some skins are also sized for particular iPhone or iPad models — check a skin's compatibility notes before installing if you want a pixel-perfect fit.
Installing a skin doesn't touch your saves or ROMs at all — it's a purely visual change you can swap out anytime from Delta's settings.

Good to Know
A skin only shows up in the Controller Skins list for the console it was built for — a Game Boy skin won't appear while browsing GBA or NDS options.
If buttons appear misaligned after applying a skin, it was likely designed for a different iPhone screen size. Check the skin's listed compatible devices and look for a version made for your specific model.
You can install as many skins as you like and switch between them freely — Delta keeps every imported skin available in the picker.
