I’ve been looking forward to the inclusion of runtime css in flex 2.0.1. The new FlexStore sample (click on the flex store logo) and a post by Ted Patrick are examples of this new feature. I’m thinking of incorporating runtime CSS in a flex app on the themes page so you can see the themes I’ve created change a sample flex app right in front of your eyes. Good stuff.
Adobe just released Flex 2.0.1 and it’s available for download. I was able to install the Mac version with no problems. I look forward to implementing runtime CSS.

A user on the Flex Components Yahoo Group asked about how to skin a pop up box to have an arrow at the bottom of the box. More specifically how to make it look like a pop up button in Windows Media Player 11. I made a quick sample by skinning a combo box using CSS and Flash. You can view it here and download the source here.
I’m getting close to finishing up the iTunes 7 theme, so maybe I’ll make a Windows Media Player 11 Theme to expand upon this drop down skin. I work on a Mac, so I’ll have to go by screenshots available online.
