This and future guides will assume you are using Notepad++ to edit the xml files and where possible to edit the graphics. You can also use Adobe Photoshop which is used by the professionals however it is expensive and not really needed unless you are making fancy graphics, if you do need to use Photoshop you can generally get a free 30 day trial from adobe's site and not sure if it's still available but they made Photoshop CS2 free to download several years ago and that should still have all the features you need.

If you don't have any graphics software then is a free upgraded version of MS Paint that is easy enough to use and should be good enough, a more feature rich alternative is The GIMP which is an open source alternative to Photoshop but not all that user friendly. Graphics Software - You need a program that supports transparent png file, if you already have graphics software you are familiar with and it supports transparent png files then I'd recommend you use that program. However if you are doing a fair bit of skinning I'd recommend using a program such as Notepad++ as it colours the code and includes line numbers which makes it a lot easier to edit the larger or more complicated xml files. A Text Editor - For FM18 I'd recommend Wordpad over Notepad as Notepad doesn't seem to be reading the formatting of FM18's files.
