# The Skin section (optional)

Skins controls the detailed appearance of JAlbum albums. A wide range of skins is available with JAlbum and more can be downloaded from the Internet. This section only shows if the selected skin has a custom user interface. Its functionality is entirely defined by the skin itself and not documented here. Here is an example of the custom user interface for the "ShowOff" skin. Its functionality is explained by "tool tips" if you hover the mouse over the controls. The skin creation section explains how to make your custom skins.
