A skin defines the appearance of the Parallels Business Automation - Standard tools. A skin is a combination of palette and images.
Skins Customization allows you to change interface palette, so that you can set any combination of colors you like for the most of interface elements.
To facilitate creation of new skins, we provide the default base skins which serve as the parent ones for any of the new skins you create:
The default skins are read-only, you can only use them as the parent ones for the new skins, but it is not possible to customize these default skins. When you create new skins, you always select the parent one: this can be either one of the default skins or one of the newly created ones.
As for the custom skins you create, you can allow or disallow using these skins as the parent ones (by checking or unchecking the Allow inheritance box in the skin properties).
To allow applying a custom skin to the Parallels Business Automation - Standard tools, please make it active (check the Active box in the skin properties)
All the skins created from the Provider Control Center (i.e., owned by Provider) are reachable but read-only for Resellers. The "Active" provider's skins can be applied. If a Reseller wants to customize and apply a skin owned by Provider, this can be done:
A skin is part of a user personal settings. This means that when you apply a skin, this setting will be saved in the Parallels Business Automation - Standard database and the skin selected will be applied each time the same login/password is used to log in to the Control Center.
To create or apply a skin, go to the Marketing Director - Brand Manager - Skins.
