Changing Skype Ringtone

[Scott Baret]

Hi everyone--definitely need the advice of those of you who do some dumpster diving within programs for this.

The newest versions of Skype don't seem to let you change your ringtone. The older ones always did, which I took advantage of since the loud, obnoxious song the program plays gets on my nerves. I have to press the mute button when dialing and then quickly press it again to unmute as soon as someone picks up; I also keep the computer on mute when expecting calls.

I'd like to change it to something much more palatable, rather than the nails-on-the-chalkboard song that plays every time by default. I'm sure there's a file somewhere within the package that would do this, right? I remember being able to use ResEdit on old-school programs and know things can be swapped in other ways today, but does anyone know where Skype hides this so I can swap it out and stop pressing the mute button all the time?

So it confirms there's no official way to change the tone on the desktop version, but there has to be a way to do it. That annoying little song has to be a file somewhere within the package that can be swapped out for something.

Also, the mobile device section seems to be out of date, sadly enough. I tried to change it on my iPhone last night to no avail.

I cannot describe the level of hatred I have for that disgusting ring tone. I have been trying to see if there is a solution for years and every time I Google it to see if anything has popped up theres nothing.

There just has to be someone who can suss this out man. Maybe we can get Anonymous involved?

There has to be someone who can work this out, seriously.

I'm sure there's SOME way to do it...there's got to be a file or resource somewhere in the package that can be swapped out?

Anyone??

There's a way: https://github.com/AlexP11223/skype8_modder

It's slightly involved and not tested on mac but it looks like it's doable.
