M-Commander ships 51 skins in misc/skins/. A skin is picked in F9 -> Options ->
Appearance, or on the command line with mcommander -S NAME. User skins go to
~/.local/share/mc6/skins/; a file there with the same name as a shipped
skin overrides it.
Every shipped skin has colors for all screens, including the embedded
terminal ([mcterm]), the structured JSON/XML/YAML view in the viewer
([mctree]) and the mcstruct plugin ([mcstruct-tree], [mcstruct-hex],
[mcstruct-def]).
The -thin variants use single-line frames, the -defbg variants keep the
terminal background instead of painting their own, and the root variants
use red highlights so a root session is easy to tell apart.
