I'm sure you're talking about the "Formats", one of the building blocks of the skin system.
Here is a brief document that explains all the basics: http://www.mutools.com/skin_sdk.html

Hi. Yeah that's a good skin. I like the loop button in the transport section.LlukaX wrote:updated my skin, not sure if it's good or not, any suggestions would be helpful![]()
It might be helpful to change the name from "Loox Voidex" so folks aren't confused with the original.

I like the way you're going with the skin, but i also think you should go even further that way.
-> Also change the buttons.
-> Maybe another mute icon? (it's not clear to me)
Also note these changes in the skin system since the pre-release:
-> The Loop button in the Transport Panel has gone.
It has been replaced by the "TimeBarLoop" format.
Because now the composer loop is indicated in the composer itself (in the timebar), not in the transport panel anymore.
-> These are 2 other new formats in the pre-release:
"TrackHeadersBackground" = the background of the track headers => the header area below the used tracks
"WindowBackground" = The very default window background that is visible when no other gui controls are there.
Go!

The name of the skin is the name of the skin folder.
Normally it starts with Loox... e.g. LooxWild
