18.3 Saving Skin
You can save a skin at any time (in Normal Mode or in Edit Mode).
You can save a changed skin:
*under the same name in your user directory. The original skin will be overwritten.
*under a different name in your user directory.
*on the server, and publish it for all users of this server. You need to have the appropriate permissions to do this.
*as a file in any directory (export it).
* 
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.
 
When a skin is saved, a preview graphic is generated which is shown when a skin is loaded. This reflects the current interface state of your skin (e.g. including your current speed dial labels). If you want to publish the skin, you should therefore save it in Normal Mode if possible, and appropriately configured.
