Hi,

If it's possible that I only skin the controls linke button, comobox, listbox, and "OS default look and feel engine" handles the rest?

By the way, where I can find the detail explaination of Skin Builder? I want to know the exact meaning of configurations like following,

[Globals]
EdgeDkShadowColor = 116 116 116
EdgeFillColor = 232 232 232
EdgeHighLightColor = 225 225 225
EdgeLightColor = 238 238 238
EdgeShadowColor = 134 134 134

[SysMetrics]
ActiveCaption = 172 172 172
Background = 172 172 172
Btnface = 182 182 182
BtnHighlight = 219 219 219
BtnShadow = 136 136 136
CaptionBarHeight = 21
CaptionFont = Lucida Grande, 8
CaptionText = 0 0 0
CssName = cpwebvw.css
DkShadow3d = 136 136 136
FlatMenus = true
GradientActiveCaption = 172 172 172
GradientInactiveCaption = 163 163 163
GrayText = 89 89 89
Highlight = 129 129 129
HighlightText = 255 255 255
HotTracking = 67 67 67
IconTitleFont = Lucida Grande, 8
InactiveCaption = 163 163 163
InactiveCaptionText = 120 120 120
Light3d = 251 251 251
Menu = 182 182 182
MenuBar = 182 182 182
MenuFont = Lucida Grande, 8
MenuHilight = 129 129 129
MinColorDepth = 15
MsgBoxFont = Lucida Grande, 8
ScrollbarHeight = 16
ScrollbarWidth = 16
SmallCaptionFont = Lucida Grande, 8
SMCaptionBarHeight = 20
SMCaptionBarWidth = 17
StatusFont = Lucida Grande, 8
Window = 255 255 255
XmlName = default.xml
.....
.....

Did you ever figure this out? I have had limited success just hacking around to determine what is affected when I make a change.

I am particularly interested in CssName and XmlName as it appears that a lot of skin capability must be embedded in those files.

I was thinking I'd extract the files from shellstyle.dll (windows dll) and make mods and have SkinBuilder use the modified files. But I have not figured out how SkinBuilder uses the files nor how CJ uses the files. I suspect that CJ just doesn't fully support skinning as it appears that the code to load data from those files is imported directly from the system theme DLL.
