Close panels, change skin?

[Craphter]

Hey Raimeter Comunity, I downloaded latest stable version: 1.2, and I'd like to customize my raimeter, but I'm having trouble with that... Here's a screenshot of my desktop right now:

I'd like to close a few panels, open new ones and change my skin, but I'm not sure how to do that. I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks for your time.

Right click any panel you want to close and find the option close skin, that will close the panel.
To open a new panel (or skin) right click any panel, find the option configs and go hover your mouse till you find anything with the extension .ini -- that's the skins extention and is a "panel" left click that to open that.
Hope that will help.

I recommend getting the beta.
It's just as stable as the 'stable' release. It also includes lots of stuff that new skins rely on.
