What is the difference between sandard and custom skins?
Standard skin includes a full set of more then 20 standard controls supported by SkinCrafter engine:
- Window's frame, Title bar and Title bar buttons
- MDI windows
- Push button
- Radio button
- Check box
- Push-like checkboxes and radio button
- Scrollbars
- Menu bar
- Popup Menu
- Toolbar
- Tab conrol
- Progress bar
- Status bar
- Resize grip
- ListboxList control
- Tree control
- Dropdown/combo box
- Groupbox
- Header control
- DateTime
- PickerMonthCalendar
If these controls are filled with images and all your controls are skinned when this skin applied, then you are dealing with standard skin!
If you need a skin for your music player or cd burning utility, or web search anilizer or anything else, where the control buttons or other controls should have different appearence. Then you need a custom skin.
Custom skins do not depend on any templates, they usually are just drawn in graphics editor and should be cut into the skin, transforming the particular parts of drawn UI into the controls. This is what is refered when talking about custom skins.
