Skin Express v1.0.0.0 Released! -

Windows Forms make it easy to apply a simple skin to a form, but they fall short when it comes to extended functionality. That's where Skin Express comes in.

Skin Express is an affordable tool that enables Visual Studio.NET developers to easily add skins to their applications. The Skin Express Skinning Engine serves multiple purposes - it is the engine behind the Skin Express Skin Builder (the tool that is used for creating "skin definitions"), and it is also the engine that will run behind your applications to provide skinning functionality. At only ~20 KB, the overhead of the engine is negligible. v1.0.0.0 is a Beta release, and therefore does not contain all of the functionality that the full release will have.
