Skin Window

Only working for intros running in Windowed mode (not full-screen or screen-size)

The skin picture will be shrunk or enlarged to the intro screen size. With Zoom, the skin can then be expanded beyond the boundaries of the Intro Window. The transparent color is also transparent beyond the boundary of the intro window to allow the creation of a none rectangular intro screen shape with uneven or even curved shaped sides/edges. X/Y Offset also allows to shift the skin position even further out, relative from the center of the intro display position.
