- ## Property Details

  - ### skin

    ObjectProperty<Skin<?>> skinProperty
    The `Skin` responsible for rendering this `Skinnable`. From the perspective of the `Skinnable`, the `Skin` is a black box. It listens and responds to changes in state of its `Skinnable`.

    Some implementations of `Skinnable` define a one-to-one relationship between `Skinnable` and its `Skin`. Every `Skin` maintains a back reference to the `Skinnable`. When required, this relationship is enforced when the `Skin` is set, throwing an `IllegalArgumentException` if the return value of `Skin.getSkinnable()` is not the same as this `Skinnable`.

    A skin may be null.

    See Also:
      - `getSkin()`
      - `setSkin(Skin)`
      - `skinProperty()`
