Avatar Skin

A texture image that replaces the default skin of your avatar. It is an inventory item and marked by the following icon: Inv item skin.png

Newly created skins appear in the Bodyparts folder (Inv folder bodypart.png) by default.

Skin cannot (usually) be adjusted by the appearance sliders, but might look much better than the default skin.
