   ExpressSkins™ Library

Application-wide skinning library providing cutting-edge look and feel options inspired by popular software products as well as unique skins designed by DevExpress.

 It was impossible to emulate the Office 2007 style by painting pixels, lines and frames. There had to be a higher-level abstraction that would allow us to paint custom-shaped elements with complex backgrounds and highlighting. This level of abstraction required a new product – the ExpressSkins Library – one that uses bitmap-based painting. The ExpressSkins Library was inspired by technology found in Windows XP Themes, but it has a significant advantage compared to painting via operating system methods. Your application clients don't need to have Windows XP installed on their machines to experience the same freedom in look and feel customization.
