EQWatcher Evolution > Skin Development > EQWatcher's Control Names

Although any control names are allowed under the previously stated conditions, EQWatcher will only recognize a limited set of names.  Based only on the name of the control, EQWatcher will know what to do.

Here is the list of recognized names, I'll do my best to keep this list current and complete.  None of them are required at all... Also note that other functional controls are planned, submit any ideas to me -- almost anything goes!
