One more set of control skins is up and ready for use. I had hoped to have two ready, but one set needed some additional tweaking work that I can’t get to until I return to Seattle on 4\/14.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

This new set is very rough and organic in appearance and maybe even a bit esoteric, but it can still work on various sites or it can be used in early mockups of a site to give the mockups a rough and sketched appearance. I take this sort of approach to many of my early mockups; especially, if I don’t want reviewers to focus on design details. <\/font><\/p>\n

Here’s a screen shot of the new set of controls.<\/font><\/p>\n

You can also view a live version<\/a> of the controls or download<\/a> my Page.xaml, Page.xaml.vb, and App.xaml, so you can apply the style to your own site. I also talk about this set on my blog<\/a>; which contains info on other aspects of skinning controls.<\/font><\/p>\n

Enjoy the new skin!<\/font><\/font><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
