Tips:
- 0 as value means no and 1 means yes in the most cases.
- These words in brackets are actually really important, don't forget them.
- Please always use a spacebar after the double point in the line. It won't work if you don't use it.
- Make sure you wrote things correctly.
- If you changed something in the skin.ini and it didn't change in your client, you may forgot to refresh your skin by pressing the keyboard shortcut ctrl+alt+shift+s in the client.
