MYIE2 Skin production fundamental rules and guidelines

• The Skins document is stored in the skin directory under the installation directory of MYIE2 where you can make your own directory at any names you like. Here is an example in which I make a test directory under the skin directory to store copied graphic files.
• Then create skin.ini document in the test directory with appropriate parameters. Here is an example to illustrate how MYIE2 uses FlatXP as its skin along with the demonstration of the skin.ini document.
