Skins are the custom graphical appearances (GUIs) that can be applied to the Parallels Pro Control Panel to cater to the individual preferences of each user.

Information on this page includes:

Skin name. One of the skins listed has the suffix [Default] which indicates that it is the default skin for the control panel. A skin which has a [Current] suffix indicates that it is the skin currently applied to the control panel.
Show skins. You can choose to list the skins that only you have created by selecting my skins in the show drop down list. To list all the skins that you have created as well as those created by your parent and the system generated ones, select the value all skins in the show drop down list.
