Overview

OSSkin.Net enables developers to skin windows forms .NET applications from a choice of 23 authentic looking skins including Windows 7, Windows Aero, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Office 2007, Office 2010 and Mac OS-X themes. Thanks to an advanced skin engine designed entirely in C#, it is the only skinning product currently available that completely skins all windows forms .NET forms, controls and dialogs.


Dynamic form shadows

OSSkin supports dynamic alpha-blended drop shadow effects on all forms and dialogs, a feature unique to our product and available on all platforms. There is a choice of 3 form shadow styles to choose from making your forms spring to life popping right out of the screen.

    

Design-time Integration
 

OSSkin installs directly into the Visual Studio Toolbox. Setup is easy, at design-time just drop the component onto the main form of your application, or the first form the users see's when running the application.
 

Using the built-in Smart-tag designer you can then customize every aspect of the skin and set your preferences without having to modify your project or source code. 

You can also change any appearance properties on the component at runtime, your application GUI is automatically updated in realtime to reflect the new settings.
