I am using my own skin based on Elastic.

I have got the info with the Version 1.2.11:
- Change: footer background color added to the ACP STYLE tab.

How can I know where I should update in my own skin according to the updates in original Elastic skin? I know that there is a compare tool but I can not compare every item one by one. Thanks!

There are many ways to do it and how you like to will depend on how you like to setup for development.

If you have a compare tool, then it should be able to compare folder too to tell you what files are different. I use "KDiff3" because thats whats on my operating system.

If your using an IDE (which i suspect you are) the you can use GIT to show you what changes are different in the new updated version.

When I'm doing most of my updates to the site via the marketplace system, what I do to know what changed is to use:
ACP -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> REBASE MODULES

To get rid of all the versions of the modules and JUST keep the most up-to-date version on the server.

Then after I update and rebase, I download to my IDE (which is fully committed) and GIT will show me what has changed.

So that's a couple of options there are many more.

What changed is footer.css

It did look like this:
#footer {
    background: #333333 url("{$jrElastic_img_url}/bckgrd.png");
}

and that changed to
/* @title Footer color */
/* @help Footer */
#footer {
    background-image: url("{$jrElastic_img_url}/bckgrd.png");
    background-color: #333333;
}

The reason for the change was to allow the STYLE tab on the Elastic skin to be able to update that CSS property from the ACP (also something I think is not something you do, so its not a change that will effect your skin i suspect.) :)
