Proffesional Gui-skinning

[rysiora]

All this software is Commercial, here are used Trial/Shareware versions of it!

AppFace - Working in AutoIt quite good, but I noticed some bugs: the main problem is with background.

Official site: AppFace.com.

DOWNLOAD AutoIt Example: AU3-AppFace.zip <Right-click "Save Target As">

It was designed for:

Visual Basic 6.0

Visual C++ 5-7

Borland Delphi

Borland C++ Builder

Visual Basic.Net

Visual C#.Net

Win32 SDK

PureBasic.

SkinEngine - Also working in AutoIt but I noticed few problems: drawning of ProgressBar, bugs in ScrollBars.

Without that bugs it may be my favourite. You can buy it for about 99,00 $USD.

Official website: SkinEngine.com.

DOWNLOAD AutoIt Example: AU3-SkinEngine.zip <Right-click "Save Target As">

Designed for:

Microsoft Visual C++ 6-2005

Microsoft Visual Basic 5-6

Microsoft Visual Basic .NET

Microsoft Visual J++ .NET

Microsoft Visual Studio 6-2005

Borland Delphi 4-2006

Borland C++Builder 5-6

Borland C# Builder

What do you think about this, guys? Maybe it would be cool to buy one of these products and use for beautiful skinned AutoIt GUI?

Edit: ADDED NEW SYSTEM

Another one... SkinCrafter. Official website: SkinCrafter.com. You can buy one license for about $299 USD .

Some bugs are with drawing radios and listview headers (disappearing) Use 0 in the DefineLanguage func, so it works almost perfectly!

Wow, that's really neat rysiora... Thanks for sharing!

[RazerM]

that is very professional and it only has one splash screen that isnt too annoying.

EDIT: just do a WinWaitactive and close it automatically!

[slightly_abnormal]

does it have source included? you did this with autoit?

i'm reluctant towards shareware. you know autoit is freeware.

AutoIt's license has no impact on the license users apply to their own software.

yeah..?

[Valik]

yeah..?

It's about as relevant as your comments on licenses at all. What does the fact that AutoIt is freeware have anything at all to do with the subject of this thread? In fact, what does your opinion of reluctance matter on the subject? If you don't want to use what's presented here, don't use it, it's not mandatory to tell people that you are not going to use it.

This is what I was looking for a long time for AutoIt.

Thanks rysiora!!

Small addition to func "Quit()"

Func Quit()
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
    DllCall($dll, "int", "DeInitDecoration")
    DllCall($dll, "int", "RemoveSkin")
    DllClose($dll)
    Exit
EndFunc

To hide GUI before removing Skin and closing Dll (the GUI window is displayed "classic" for a few miliseconds).
