Skin Elements

A skin element is any object added to the skin.

Elements like Text Boxes and Timers are
added by selecting them in the Toolbar and then clicking in the Canvas. Elements
like Images or Sounds can be dragged onto the Canvas.

When an element is selected, its properties appear in the Properties section of
the Skin Editor.

There are properties that all elements share; like, Actions, Position and
Appearance. But they will also have their specific properties.

When multiple elements are selected, for example, a text box, rectangle, and
container, you will see their common settings in the preferences. You can then
change the size, for example, for all of them at the same time.

Some element properties like Position and Scaling can have their
settings reset by double-clicking on their labels. The cursor will change to
a hand, indicating that it’s clickable. Position, for example, when
double-clicked will be reset to 0,0.

Many parameters have
logic blocks and are
indicated by the logic block icon.
