I didn't follow this discussion closely, but I think it was started on a wrong basis. I never wanted to add *both* a skin and a prefs option. I first just wanted to add a prefs option but then I made a typo by setting the default with "::skin::setKey" instead "::config::setKey". So I changed that to the right place afterwards :D. I just wanted a prefs option ! :D
