It's not clear whether a user setting is the right/accepted fix for the skin buffer.
But even if it is, this implementation of it is considered bad, even by the author.

Currently the default size is 80KB on colour targets which can be way too much or not enough for users.
The format of the /.rockbox/skin_buffer_size.txt file is simply a number (so 120 if you want 120 kilobytes), NO trainling spaces or text of any kind

%LT(offset, nowrap) - get the text for the "being drawn"+offset item (offset being + or -). if the second param is "nowrap" (Without quotes) the text will be blank if the item would need to wrap. Same for the icon
e.g:
%LT(-1)
%LT <<
%LT(1, nowrap)
will display:
Four
Five <<
Six (or nothing if Five is the last item)

%ss(start, length, tag) - i.e %ss(0,1,%TL) will get the first letter of the current lines text.
use - for the length to get the rest of the tag (e.g %ss(1,-,%TL) will get everything after the first letter).

The usefulness of this is arguable, but this improves consistency at only a very small cost

due to lack of user feedback the actual tags may change, hopefully not though.
The way it works is the skin specifies a rectangle and a viewport label. For each item in the list that is being displayed all viewports with the specified label are drawn. However, instead of the viewport x/y position being offset from the top left corner like normal they are offset from the rectangle position in the list (so think of them as child-viewports of the rectangle which moves).
Normally the rectangle will move down the screen to show a normal list, this can be changed to move across the screen in a grid pattern.
The UI viewport is used to bound the items (i.e %Vi() )
Scrolling is completly disabled in all items except the currently selected item.
This works well in combination with the %cs tag to show differently styled lists based on the current screen :)
New tags:
%LT - Get the current items text
%LI - Get the current items icon number
%Lc - Use as a conditional to determine if the current item is the selected item
%LB - BAR TAG to show the scroll bar, params/options like other bar types. It still needs a bit of work though. Use as a conditional to find out if the bar is actually needed
%Lb(viewport, width, height [,tile]) - specify the viewport label to draw for each item and the size of each item. if the last param is 'tile' it will form a grid instead of a list
example.sbs:
%?cs<%Lb(a,100,20)|>
%V(0,0,10,-,1)%Vf(aabbcc)
%?LB<%LB(0,0,10,185, invert)>
%Vi(-,10,0,-,-35,1)
%Vl(a,5,5,160,12,1)
%s%?Lc<%Vg(00ffaa, ff0000, 000000)%Vs(gradient)%>%>%>%ac>zzzzzzz %LT zzzzz%s%?Lc<%ar%<%<%<>
%V(0,185,-,-,1)
%s%LT

The buflib memory allocator is handle based and can free and
compact, move or resize memory on demand. This allows to effeciently
allocate memory dynamically without an MMU, by avoiding fragmentation
through memory compaction.
This patch adds the buflib library to the core, along with
convinience wrappers to omit the context parameter. Compaction is
not yet enabled, but will be in a later patch. Therefore, this acts as a
replacement for buffer_alloc/buffer_get_buffer() with the benifit of a debug
menu.
See buflib.h for some API documentation.
