ScaleNine

When I first started ScaleNine I envisioned it as a community effort to bring skins, themes, and overall Flex visual UI enhancements to interested developers. As the knowledge base of Flex grows I suspect this may be the case and it seems as more and more developers get there hands on Flex, the more individuals there are who are eager to contribute to the community.

With that said, here’s a theme based on Windows Vista submitted by Bhavin Padhiyar. He approached this theme using bitmap assets and specifying the 9-slice grids in the CSS file. This is great because it shows another method of skinning a Flex application. He also provided the Photoshop file in case you’d like to modify some of the assets. Thanks Bhavin!

See this theme in action here (view source enabled), or download the PSD and source from the ScaleNine homepage.

You can also try this theme out without downloading any files by using this URL in the mx:Style source in the MXML of your application:

I also made the Darkroom Theme available using this method:
