reskin
Change the appearance
To reskin something is to apply a new visual surface while keeping the underlying structure intact.
In gaming and software, reskinning replaces graphics, textures, or interface elements without changing functionality: They reskinned the character with a dragon theme.
The term extends to any superficial makeover: The company reskinned their old product and called it new.
