I don't see any tutorials on skins. I have the samples and have run the skin sample and I've found a few posts indicating you can just load the skin style when the frame starts up.

We currently use themes and let the user swap between themes (blue to silver etc.).

What is the difference between skins and themes? Do they work hand-in-hand? Or if I move to using skins, do I have to remove our theme setting code?

Also, I see there is a "windows 8" skin and a "zune" skin according to this website. But my 16.2 toolkit only has CodeJock/Office2007/Office2010/Vista/WinXP.Luna/WinXP.royal .scstyles files. Did Win 8 come about after 16.2 or do I have to purchase the skin framework product too?
