18.1 Loading Skin
* 
A Skin is generally saved in the form of a compressed CAB file. All the information SwyxIt! Classic needs in order to create the Skin from the individual components (background images, buttons, and displays) are located in this file.
 
* 
If you use a Skin with a transparent background, SwyxIt! Classic will be displayed without a window frame and without a menu bar. In this case, you must always call the general context menu in order to use the menu elements.
 
Download Skin from the Swyx Website
In SwyxWare you have various Skins available on SwyxServer. In addition, Swyx offers further Skins on the website for download. You can download these using the Help menu or the "Skin" tab in the "File" menu or user profile.
To load another Skin
1 You have several options:
*Click with the right mouse button on the SwyxIt! Classic user interface. Then, in the context menu, click on “File | Skin | Load…” or
* go to the menu bar and click on “File | Skin | Load...”.
The "Properties of…" window will appear.
2 Select the Skin you want from the "Skin" drop-down list. After a skin is selected, a preview of this skin may be displayed.
You can also download a new Skin here from the Swyx website. Simply click on the link "Skin Download" below the preview area.
3 Click "OK" when you have chosen the skin you want.

If you have loaded a Skin, which has fewer Line buttons than your previous Skin, your Line configuration will remain the same. All calls for lines which are not visible on the current Skin are assigned to the first available Line button, so that none of your calls will be lost. If the default line is no longer available after changing the skin (e.g. line 3 is the default line, but the new skin has only 2 line buttons), SwyxIt! Classic behaves as if no default line was defined. If you later use a Skin with more available Line buttons, then the old line configuration will be used again.
