I am using VS2005 C# at the moment although we will be moving to VS2008 very soon.

I have downloaded the evaluation copy of your software. The sample C# application works very nicely. I wanted to check that the skinning would work with our application but due to no documentation I find it very difficult to get it to work.

Following advice from a previous post - I have added code to the form Constructor and copied the code in the OnVisibleChanged event but although I can get the background colours changing and the frames changing - some of the controls on the form do not seem to change at all.

I had to change the FlatStyle property of the buttons from "Standard" to "System" for these to work. Yet there is no explanation why this should be the case.

I have no idea where the .ini files and the .cjstyles files should be located.

Could you provide a simple "How to get started" guide? Would this guide be available if we purchased the software?

Are there any other quirks?

We are currently evaluating skinning software. We have 40 developers and we are looking for software that will be easy to use, is flicker free and from a company that provides adequate documentation and support.

I would be grateful for a quick reply. Thanks

Have I offended someone here? Is my question difficult to answer? I was only looking for some advice.

Oh well - Merry Christmas anyway.

Yes, we have this hint in our sample. To see themed button you need System style.
