And very old :-)

Maybe when I finished the new skin, I have to write tons of docs what
you can do with skins. Right now you can put a file called folder.fxd
(skin.xml for the old skin) inside a directory to change the skin only
for this directory.

Everything possible with my new skin right now. Right now only with a
folder.xfd. But it would be easy to use a different <menu> with
different <menuset>s for DIR_RECORD. One view would be listing area
only (+title +background), only with additional info area.

Toggle is already implemented.
