question
Why call them 'garments' instead of 'skins'?
answer
Well, because in Nooron there might also end up being skins. The term 'skin' is usually used to talk about a large-scale cosmetic choice that governs details such as the colors, positions and sizes of onscreen elements. There is room for Nooron to have skins too, but nothing has been done to implement that yet. The template standard_master can be thought of as the only skin currently available for Nooron. It is responsible for placing and formatting all the html screens you see when surfing a stock Nooron instance. A future direction is for programmatic selection of standard_master or some alternative skin to occur at the top of each skin. Probably the thing to do would be to rejigger standard_master so it takes responsibility for implementing the selection of a skin. Nothing stands in the way of current Nooron site operators modifying standard_master in any way they choose, including getting it to swap skins based on knowledge or cookies or something.
