For simplicity purposes on skinning

The new skin.ini would be this:
Code
[General]
//General

[Colours]
//Colors

[Font]
//Numbering

[4K]
//4 Keys

[5K]
//5 Keys

[6K]
//6 Keys

[7K]
//7 Keys

[8K]
//8 Keys
Or this (based on Fullerene-'s reply):
Code
[General]
//General

[Colours]
//Colors

[Font]
//Numbering

[Mania4K]
//4 Keys

[Mania5K]
//5 Keys

[Mania6K]
//6 Keys

[Mania7K]
//7 Keys

[Mania8K]
//8 Keys

But I think that repeated [Mania] lines wouuld contradict each other...

Well, based Fullerene-'s reply this will be the format:
[Mania]
Keys: 5

[Mania]
Keys: 6

[Mania]
Keys: 7
I think it's contradicting because it is much more like declaring 2 different commands at the same time
[General]

[nK] headers were considered however were abandoned as a result of my new skinning system in-place internally which makes parsing skins a lot easier using the "Keys: " style. I could use regex to parse the headers however I don't really like the idea of having dynamic headers as the system might be more prone to parsing errors thereafter. This might be a consideration I'll make in the future, but don't feel it's required for the time being. I understand the advantages in terms of readability of dynamic headers.

It will also be easier to parse layouts like 5+1 in the current case - [51K] is not really a good style imo as my goals for mania extend way beyond the possibility of just 10K in terms of extensibility (not saying 51K will be a thing, but I want to have that option available ;)).

"Keys: " doesn't look too bad right? I can obviously change the name as it's still WIP.
