Custom Skins For Flex Components
The Yahoo! Flash Developer Center is an interesting place that often posts resourceful articles on their Yahoo! Flash Blog.
Recently, Jeffrey Bennett posted a how-to on creating custom skins for Flex components. The tutorial has four steps:
1. Creating a skin asset in Flash.
2. Creating the Flex application.
3. Authoring the stylesheet.
4. Application of stylesheet.
Bennett along with Joe Magnani developed a Yahoo! Flex skin which matches the look and feel of UI components used all over Yahoo! and is being distributed for free under the BSD license. Here is a how-to for running it and this is how it looks like.
Aral made a post showing how to dynamically switch to the Yahoo! Flex skin, and the first commentator on the post offers an easier solution.
Don’t forget to share with us any custom Flex skins you may create.
