On the Internet, a skin is a graphic or audio file
used to change the appearance of the user interface to a program or for
a game character. Skins can usually be downloaded at no charge from sites
that provide them. The skin concept can be compared to the Xpress-On covers
that snap to the front of the Nokia 3210 cell phone. These come in various
colors and graphic designs such as Cyber Fish and Tribal Sign. The covers
alter the appearance of the phone but not the phone itself. When using
a skin, the appearance of the user interface changes, but not the functions
available with the program.
