The Skins Page

Quick-start tutorial: Home 1 2 3 4

To get to the skins page, click the preferences tab from the top navigation bar. Then select the skins tab.

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.

  For example, a service provider has added a skin and a reseller has also added new skins. When the reseller logs in and selects the value all skins in the show drop down list, the skins listed include the one added by the service provider, skins added by the reseller as well as the system generated skin(s).

On this page you can:

• Click the action bar links to manage the skins. Except for the Add skin action bar, the links Edit, Remove, Set as default, Apply skin and Preview are enabled only after you select an item from the list. To select an item on a list, click the option button to the left of the item. Many of the action bar links above lists are enabled only after you select an item on the list.
