Plugins

TinyMCE ships with an assortment of plugins. Because TinyMCE is meant to be a client-side application, it does not include native file managers for various server technologies. Several file manager solutions exist, including several proprietary projects developed by Tiny Technologies, as well as a handful of open source file manager solutions.

Themes and skins

In TinyMCE, "themes" and "skins" reference different aspects of the editor. A theme relates to the editor's construction, while a skin is used to make changes to the appearance of the editor. In Version 5 of TinyMCE, its default theme is called Silver and its default skin is called Oxide. Skins can be customized by TinyMCE 5's interactive skin tool. In Version 4 of TinyMCE, the first skin tool was created and more skins in the skin/plugin repository. TinyMCE 2.x->3.x used to offer various ways to customize the look and feel of the editor. Version 3 of TinyMCE came packaged with two themes, simple and advanced, as well as 2 skins for each theme, default and o2k7.
