Each user has the ability to choose their own look and feel for the application by choosing a skin. This menu option gives the user several options, including some skins that are holiday themed. The skin that a user selects is specific to that user and will not affect the look and feel settings for any other user.
Each skin affects the following elements:
- the color of the window's border
-
the coloring and style of menus
- the color of the currently highlighted menu item your mouse is hovering over
- the left-side and right-side background color of the menu
- the shape and color of menu separators
- the shape and color of the border around menu button groups
-
the color and style of tabs
- the color of a tab
