Image Onion skin.png thumb right 250px Onion skin of frame 7 of Image Animhorse.gif this image showing previous 3 frames Onion skinning is a 2D computer graphics term for a technique used in creating animation animated cartoons and editing movies to see several frames at once. This way, the animator or editor can make decisions on how to create or change an image based on the previous image in the sequence. In traditional cartoon animation, the individual Video frame frame s of a movie were initially drawn on thin onionskin paper over a light source. The animators mostly inbetween ers would put the previous and next drawings exactly beneath the working drawing, so that they could draw the in between to give a smooth motion. In computer software, this effect is achieved by making frames translucent and projecting them on top of each other. This effect can also be used to create motion blur s, as seen in The Matrix franchise The Matrix when characters dodge bullets.

The engine, in its unmodified state, only fully applies .msstyles files that have been digitally signed by Microsoft , such as Luna or the Zune theme. The default Windows XP style is known as Luna, but additional custom made styles are available on the Internet however, few are digitally signed. Four other signed styles include Royale Windows XP Media Center Edition Media Center Edition Energy Blue , Royale Noir, Windows Embedded Standard CTP Refresh, and the Zune Style.
