Looks really nice, though I like scummvm1.png more over scummvm3.png
i.e. normal, not bold font on buttons.

Speaking of formats. I'd suggest to use .BMPs since t doesn't introduce
additional dependencies but put them all into single .zip file so only
one file will be shipped as a skin and maybe even overall compression
ration will be higher.

Another thing to suggest is not to hardcode buttons positions but use
some text-based skin description file. Again without introducing new
dependencies it would be wise and enough to use our already
supported .ini format. Details have to be discussed but it shouldn't be
extremely hard to implement (I offer my helping hand on this).

This will give more freedom to artists, so they may put buttons in
different places etc.
