Most of our UI components provides the Appearance object that holds a collection of skins, that’s accessible using the VisualAppearance property. These components let the user changes the visual appearance using skins, each one providing an additional visual experience that enhances viewing pleasure. Skins are relatively easy to build and put on any part of the component. Currently, a skin can be defined as an EBN file ( the Exontrol’s WYSWYG eXButton Builder saves and loads EBN files ) or a part defined by the Windows XP Theme. A skin can be applied to any part of the control for which we have a property that defines its background color, else a Background property defines the parts where we can apply skins. For instance, the BackColorHeader property changes the visual appearance for the header bar of the eXGrid control, and the Background(exDropDownButtonUp) defines the visual appearance for the drop down button in the eXComboBox control.
