Is there something specific you'd like explained or something in particular you'd like to change?

I've thought for a while that I should post more about what little I do know about skinning the game, but my notes on the topic are pretty random and it would take some effort to put them into a format useful for others. The reason why I posted the above was it bugged me for a while and it seemed manageable to go from the problem (3 different backgrounds) to how to fix it. I suppose another I could do is how to go about changing the rating colours, for the bars and numbers, as that is what drove me to get back into skinning the game.

I'd love it if the dev who makes the skins would just write up some basic documentation because even I don't know what a lot of the files and code do. Even just explaining all the folder names in style_sets would help a tonne. I've figured out a bunch, but there are still some I don't know what they change. Like what exactly is a "panel"? I thought it must mean smaller frames in a screen and I'm pretty sure some trial and error indicated that before, but the other day I tried changing something to some "panel" file and I didn't notice anything different until later when I went to play a game out and the field, stadium, and sky all went black. I was stunned. Thankfully, I remembered what I had changed the day before and changed it back (I should have at the time, but I guess I forgot), but still, I didn't at all expect that change would effect the in-game screen.
