Creating a skin is easy. There is an example skin that shows the basic capabilities of what you can do and it has documentation describing all the fields and values needed in the skin file (this information is in the .ini file)

Changes from v2 skins

Skins that are designed for POP Peeper v3 have the following changes:
- Graphics can now be bmp, gif, or jpg (jpeg is not recommended in most cases since there may be problems with transparency)
- New Slider effects (see example.ini for more info)
- User can override certain values such as transparency and slider effects
