ScaleNine Themes and Flex 3
I’ve been getting emails regarding some of the themes featured on ScaleNine not working properly with Flex 3. There have been some changes to the framework that have caused this, like Panel changes and name changes for some styles. However, there are things that were added to Flex 3 that you can take advantage of now, like iconColor and popUpIcon to further customize an app.
Right now, I don’t have much time to go back and change them all, so I’ll probably do one at a time in between the other stuff I have going on. Since not all of the themes are mine, you may need to contact the authors of other themes to ask about an update, if they are going to do one at all. Until some of the issues have been smoothed out, you can always download the available FLA for some themes and make the tweaks yourself. Or just start making skins using Degrafa

Hey, regarding the problems you have been seeing with your skins, how do you go about fixing them?
With the final SDK, I’ve noticed that with graphical skins, (eg: borderSkin for Panels) the content of a panel will begin at the outermost top/left corner: thus overlapping with the Title and border.
It’s kinda messed up.
I *could* add a canvas to each Panel, and set the border metrics, but that would be a pain in the butt. Is this how you have been fixing your skins?
Any help would be appreciated!

This bug has been a pain for me, but I found a workaround that works for me, I have been using some themes from scalenine and was getting the panel border overlay problem, then I opened the css file found the declaration for the Panel and changed it to PanelSkin and this seemed to fix it.
1. Find the declaration for the panel in the css file
2. Change it to PanelSkin instead of Panel.
hope this helps someone else
