+Dynamic Layouts:
+----------------

+The emulator also supports a skin that is dynamically generated. This
+skin (present in folder "dynamic" in the skins folder) follows the same
+format as other skins, except that it only defines the list of parts/controls
+that can be used in the skin. The layouts section is generated at
+runtime by the emulator. The parts section describes all the controls that
+can be used in any handset. All these parts have both an enabled and a
+disabled version defined in the skin, and at runtime the emulator reads
+the hardware definition and decides which of those two controls to actually
+use.
