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.
