= Analysis =

== Overview ==
 * The aim of this task is to improve the skin management and to provide skin persistence.

== Task requirements ==
 * Create a visual skin manager. There should be a skin maanger dialog that displays:
   * Available skins.
   * Buttons for saving, loading and applying skins.
   * The manager should be displayed skin the skins menu. (Later should be displayed from the config palette)
 * Create a persistence mechanism that allows to save and load skins.
  * Skins should be persisted in a directory so that skin manipulation is easier.
 * Create a mechanism for choosing the skin and its fallback one.
 * Create a module with the skin manager and skin persistence. It should be named org.sophie2.main.skins.

== Task result ==
 * Source code.

== Implementation idea ==
 * Use the persister mechanism that is already defined to persist skins.
 * Create the tabs and palettes.
 * For every skin in the available skins palette provide an icon and the name. There can also be some meta info about the skin.

== How to demo ==
 * Run sophie2 and click on the skins tab.
 * See the currently selected skin and its info from the available skins palette.
 * Save this skin using the skin management palette.
 * Examine the persisted skin.
 * Load the persisted skin and apply it.
 * There should be no change with the previous one.
