Up to date with version 2.3.5139
This is a work in progress. If you find inaccurate or incomplete information, please fix it!
To add an item, you can copy and paste this or any existing row and fill in the appropriate values:
{{ElementRow|name of element|type of input accepted|affected area or other comments on use|value used if this element is not present}}
Any column can be left blank. Equal signs ("=") should not be used, as they will break the table.
Unless otherwise specified, bg = background, bg2 = background (gradient w/bg), fg = text and bdr = border. Input types other than bg, fg, and bdr must be between open and close element tags, i.e. <element id="Element">Input Here</element>. All image elements must be 96 dpi and converted to base64.
This list is in alphabetical order for convenience, but sometimes the order of elements matters. If something's not working as expected in your skin, try changing the order of elements. In general, override values should follow their defaults. Default values are cascading. For instance, if PlayerTopFlat values are not present, they will take the PlayerFlat values, and if those are not present they will use the default Player values.
