*** GENERAL INFORMATIONS about Skins ***

- They are saved in the directory 'Dash2Gam/2GAM.data/Skins/'

- The minimum for the 'ini' file is the amount of backgrounds 'NbBackground='. Other options are not necessary (without them, the dash will load the options pre-defined in the file 'config_pro.ini').

- The dash is managing a maximum of 10 background images.
