0001 ** What is a Yakuake skin? 0002 0003 A Yakuake skin, at present, is a collection of PNG image files and related 0004 settings that allows modifying the visual appearance of the Yakuake window 0005 frame, the window title bar and the tab bar along with the button controls 0006 on them and the default title bar caption. 0007 0008 0009 ** How is a Yakuake skin composed? 0010 0011 A Yakuake skin consists of a main directory, the name of which is used by 0012 the application to identify that skin, and the files within. Two required 0013 files are title.skin and tabs.skin located immediately in that directory. 0014 Both are INI-style text files which contain the paths of the pixmaps that 0015 are to be applied to the title bar and tab bar interface elements, res- 0016 pectively, as well as the coordinates of the buttons and additional infor- 0017 mation about the skin, such as its display name, its author and the email 0018 address of the author. 0019 0020 You should derive new skins from the default skin. Please remember to 0021 change the name of the base skin directory (which serves as identifier), 0022 the skin display name, and include author information. 0023 0024 0025 ** How should I package a Yakuake skin? 0026 0027 The "Skins" page in the Yakuake configuration dialog features an "Install 0028 Skin" facility that can install Yakuake skin directories packaged as a 0029 tar archive and optionally compressed using gzip or bzip2. Packages can be 0030 installed from a local volume or a URL (using KIO). 0031 0032 In managing skins, Yakuake uses the name of the base skin directory loca- 0033 ted within the tar archive as internal identifier for the skin. It should 0034 be unique to your skin, i.e. ideally a simplified version of the proper 0035 name of your skin. 0036 0037 The skin list on the "Skins" config dialog page reads the Name and Author 0038 properties from the *.skin files to populate list items with information. 0039 Additionally, it will try to load a 32x32px image file given via the Icon 0040 property to show as artwork next to the skin name.
