Creating custom skins

Users can customize the framework of the Flash media player by creating and applying custom skins.

A skin consists of a packaged zip file containing an XML document along with subfolders containing the component graphics. The XML file defines the settings for the skin's components: control bar, display, dock, and playlist. Use your favorite image editor to design and save the visual elements that make up the skin and link to them in the skin's XML document.

Lectora utilizes the custom skin format of the JW Player 5, the leading media player on the Internet today. The player is easy to configure, customize, and extend.
