-Skins are customized [[TWikiTemplates]] files. You can use skins to change the look of a %WIKITOOLNAME% topic, for example the layout of the header and footer. Note that the renderd text between header and footer does **_not_** change. You can also use skins to define an alternate view, ex: a view optimized for printing.

+Skins are customized [[TWikiDocumentation]] files. You can use skins to change the look of a %WIKITOOLNAME% topic, for example, the layout of the header and footer. Rendered text between header and footer does **_not_** change. You can also use skins to define an alternate view, like a view optimized for printing.
 
-Skin files are located in the <code>**twiki/template**</code> directory and are name with this syntax: <code>**&lt;scriptname&gt;.&lt;skin&gt;.tmpl**</code>. For example, the <code>**print**</code> skin for the <code>**view**</code> template is <code>**view<font>.print</font>.tmpl**</code> (red color added for clarification).
+--++ Defining Skins
+
+Skin files are located in the `twiki/templates` directory and are named with the syntax: <code>**&lt;scriptname&gt;.&lt;skin&gt;.tmpl**</code>. For example, the **Printable** skin for the `view` template is `view.print.tmpl`.

+## <a name="Activating_Skins"> Activating Skins </a>
 
 A skin can be activated in two ways:
 
-* Define the SKIN preference variable in [[TWiki/TWikiPreferences]], one of the [[WebPreferences]], or a user preference. Ex:
+* Define the `SKIN` Preference variable in [[TWiki/TWikiPreferences]], one of the [[WebPreferences]], or in a user - %WIKIUSERNAME% - topic.
   * `Set SKIN = print`
+
 * Add `?skin=name` to the URL, for this example:
   * %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?skin=print (for the print view skin)
   * %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?skin=plain (for the plain view skin that has no header and footer)
 
-The <code>**?skin=name**</code> URL parameter overrides the SKIN preference value.
+The <code>**?skin=name**</code> URL parameter overrides the SKIN Preference value.
