SkinCrafter.Net enhances the visual appearance of your application's forms without changing their design. With the ease of adding skins feature to your software, transform your application's appearance with SkinCrafter.Net.
To see how easy it is to add skins to your application, you can try SkinCrafter's free demo. Regardless of whether you are working with C#, VB.Net, or Managed C++, SkinCrafter can be used to modify the standard appearance of your forms.
The skins engine supports a wide range of standard windows controls and .net native controls, ensuring that any type of developed application will be properly skinned. In addition, there are many pre-made skins available for free in the gallery. This allows you to offer a variety of styles to your end-users, appealing to a broader range of consumer preferences.
If none of the pre-made skins suit your application, SkinBuilder is a freeware tool that allows anyone to create their own skins. Encourage your customers to contribute to your software's skinning community, as this can entice new users to your product.
While SkinCrafter suggests giving skins a try to see if they are right for your product, they emphasize that adding this functionality can only help to strengthen your application's appeal.
