SkinFramework Skins

The Xtreme SkinFramework was designed with the Windows Visual Style architecture in mind to ensure developers have the most up-to-date and Windows friendly themes available anywhere.

With Microsoft® Visual Style support already built in you are not limited to pre-defined skins that are provided with the control. You can use any *.msstyles dll from any Visual Style developed for use with Windows XP or later themes.

How To Use Microsoft® Visual Styles with Xtreme SkinFramework

To use Microsoft® Visual Styles with the Xtreme SkinFramework you will first need to download a Visual Style, or use one of the operating systems pre-defined Visual Styles. Visual Styles are typically located under the Windows directory under “C:\Windows\Resources\Themes”. The SkinFramework only needs to use the .msstyles dll, any other files that might be included with the Visual Style are not required by Xtreme SkinFramework.

Xtreme SkinFramework Skins

The SkinFramework provides three Visual Styles which are shipped with the product. These styles are ports of Microsoft® Windows XP Luna skin, Microsoft® Windows Media Center Royale skin and Office 2007 skin. Below is a preview of the default skins that are provided with Xtreme SkinFramework.

3rd Party Visual Styles

In addition to the default skins that are shipped with Xtreme SkinFramework, we have also provided some links to Visual Styles that were created by 3rd party authors along with links to the site where you can download the Visual Style. It is important to note that these authors are in no way affiliated with Codejock Software, which means you can use these Visual Styles for testing purposes, however you will need to contact the author first to obtain permission before you use them in a product release.
