 === Can I "skin" Pidgin? ===
-The UI can be customized using GTK themes.  Application-specific skins will never be supported in Pidgin.  This seems to confuse a lot of users, so here's an attempt at an explanation.
+The UI can be customized using GTK themes and by [wiki:SmileyThemes Smiley Themes].  Application-specific skins are currently not supported and are not planned to be supported in future versions of Pidgin.  This seems to confuse a lot of users, so here's an attempt at an explanation.
 
 Themes allow you to change font size, font face, the color of different elements of the UI, and sometimes their shape. All of this is perfectly reasonable, and encompasses the range of configuration that ''most'' users are requesting. Skins go beyond this. Skins allow you to move and possibly supress different elements of the UI that the programmers have added for specific reasons.

 === How do I change the Look and Feel? ===
-Pidgin doesn't support skinning.  It does, however, support using various GTK+ themes to render the widgets.  The default theme, `MS-Windows,` is designed to fit in with Windows.  The GTK+ Runtime installer now includes a utility, accessible from the Start Menu, to change the theme.
