skin
Variable look and feel. An add-on to an application to decorate it in some theme. Often pale images are used as backgrounds on panels. Widgets may have a custom look and feel. c.f. Leonard Cohen’s song New skin for the old ceremony. Sometimes they are called themes. Skins often include new icons, a new colour scheme, textured backgrounds, cursors, animated cursors, and sometimes user interface modifications. In particular, Opera, Firefox, Trillian and WinAmp have inspired prodigious skinning creativity.
