In the computing world, there are typically two kinds of skins: one refers to images or themes that change the appearance of a user interface, and the other refers to the ability to change the look of a character in a video game. Video game skins are options that players can use to enhance the look of characters in a game by giving the character different clothes, or by changing the character's gender or species. In both cases, end users can create their own skins and incorporate them into the programs.
