OSSkin is powerful drop-in component that automatically skins any windows forms application from a choice of 18 embedded OS themes and styles. OSSkin uses an advanced skin engine that can skin all windows forms controls, scrollbars and common dialogs without requiring any changes to your projects or source code.

In order to skin your application you only need to drop this component onto the main form or the first visible form of your application at design-time.

Using the properties available on the OSSkin component you can determine which OS style to use, what forms and controls should be skinned and whether to apply translucent shadows to your forms.

Use the Style property to determine which OS style should be used to skin your application. Use the TargetControls property to determine what forms or controls you wish to have the skin applied. Use the ToolStripStyle property to control the appearance of all ToolStrip controls in your application. The ShadowVisible and ShadowStyle affects the visibility and appearance of the form shadow.

This class cannot be inherited.
