Spark Component Skins
Hello,
Time to start writing about components again. For those who have not had much experience with the older Halo component framework, Spark may not seem alien since it’s what you stepped up to. Coming from 5 years of flex component development, the Spark component framework is creating a lot of garbage regarding skins.
This whole copy and paste skin thing has got to stop!
Well, maybe not stop but needs alternatives, and that is where a component developer comes in. Our new products coming for Flex 4 target this very issue and many more.
Maybe you are a developer coming from Halo and liked some of it’s more simple style apis to get things done quickly. Maybe you just want a choice to do it one way or another and not always have to right click and select “Copy new skin“.
Whatever the case may be, stay tuned, the Window Widget Tool Kit is our first offering coming soon and I’ll start talking about it’s benefits.

Just redoing the skin from scratch every time is a REALLY, REALLY bad idea. I will look forward this Window Widget Tool Kit.
